Cat diesel power!!!!

550, question:

Friends got a 379 with a c15 cat 550hp, 370 rears, and 10spd. Where should he be running at? He tells me he get 5.9 yet something tells me he could get better. I mentioned to him about the pittsburgh power pack and he says he doesnt want the power. Any help would be appreciated.

Congrats, That is a Beast ! !

 

Nice run. what were you pyro temps? Be very carefull of running on the dyno with fan off, the intake temp with skyrocket very fast and can sieze rings. What cam do you have in it right now? I have heard the 1000 hp cam will loose 40 hp over the 800 hp cam in c15 due to the 1000 hp is for a c16. Too much cam I guess. I run the 1000 hp cam shaft in our race truck but its a c16. We have had it on the dyno but the dyno will only pull 1000 wheel hp and it would not handle any more.

 

are you from Oakville? I've heard about someone around that area that can do ECM's is that you?

 

550, you're probably right, a sleeper tractor pulling a gravel train could be a problem. Plus you don't want to be going into gravel pits with that nice looking road truck anyways.

One question, what trans are you running? In the past, I have seen a bunch of ex- MC Van Kampen trucks for sale, and they ALL had fuller 10 spds in them.

 

I will let you know about more about fuel numbers , I have the dyno next Tuesday and Wednesday. Have a two mbns and a mxs to play with. One MBN is flashed to a 6nz 550 file.
