    Is there anything you can do, besides computer work, to get more from a 3406E 435hp cat without risking the engine? I dont run like a fool just want more power for the hills.

    Best solution is to check into the boys at Diesel Injection of Pittsburgh. They produce setups specifically for climbing hills.

    Diesel Injection of Pittsburgh
    3600 South Noah Dr
    Saxonburg Pa
    724-360-4080

    A quick search for the name will bring up the website as well.

    435 #1650 tq can usually be turned up to 475 hp with just an computer hook up can also go th 550 hp if you have the trans to hold it (1850 tq) If your out of base warranty (200k miles) any dealer will do it for the hourly labor rate charge, should be <1 hour.

    C-15's are the same hard parts from 435 to 550hp

    any decent shop can plug into with a scanner and uprate the power, for a small charge (provided they have the right codes)

    mine was done yesterday....same motor, same stock power.....will be a 475 when i pick it up in the am
