Welcome to the forum Derek.

Cat has to fallow a protocol and that's why they say they can't change the files but, there's many that can do just about anything with your ECM.

What you hear about the 3176 is, on some cases you can get the ECM from a 3176B rated to 365 hp and put it on your engine and it will take it to around 700 hp, but then there's a lot more than just hp on an ECM, and to be honest I have never seen a 365hp 3176B, not that they are nonexistent ,it's just not many of them and that engine hasn't been produced for more than a decade.

What kind of mechanical trouble will I possibly run into stacking that much power to a motor that I don't have history on? I don't use more than 3 quarts of oil over a 12k mile oil change, and I have no blow-by. I know the turbo and manifold would be next, but I recently upgraded to a bully dog stage 1.5 turbo and ceramic coated manifold from Full Tilt Performance. Head gasket, obviously. But is there anything else to be afraid of when I put that much power to it?

The turbo is off a 3406E 1LW 475/550 engine. You'll be buying a turbo sooner or later. The longer you wait the more chance you take at exploding the one you have now. I'd upgrade as soon as you can afford to, because when it expodes it will cost you twice as much to fix out on the road. I can get you a BW upgrade turbo that will handle 725 Hp with no problems, PM me if you're interested.
