I was just talking to a buddy (former cummins mechanic) about this yesterday and he said at one time they was putting out 1000hp with the signatures pulling the trains. I don't know if they left them like that.
Agent has a sig 600 and hes over there so you may want to ask him. -
620/2050 although cummins say they usually put 600-620 to the ground...
as far as the road train guys pushing the HP, i wouldnt be surprised, but noone is talking about anything. so it could just be rumor.
i think the new EGR motors (just came out in june) are rated slightly higher..CaterpillarWrench Thanks this. -
Nothing like a custom program available for them or anything then?
-
Have you done much work to cummins, I have the software, never done any rerates. Do you know anyone that has any info?
-
The question I have is, why isn't anyone cranking them sig 600's up and putting out more hp?
-
because their ecms are a pain in the ###Les2 Thanks this.

Yes,I have done quite a few rerates,and I have the software also.I agree with you Freddy,they are very quick to throw codes,for instance I tried the boost sensor mod on a N14,WOW.Engine idling while showing boost throws derate code,jake does not come on while showing boost.Oh well,we'll keep hacking at it,eventually some good will come out of it.
On the Sig 600 you can put a resistor on that has been dynoed at 60hp/200ftlbs.torq over stock.

I remember reading a magazine that said they were looking at rating them at 650/2250 but that was when they first come out here in 99.
A friend of mine drives a T604 with a 620 in it and it will boost to 38psi and passes me (now that my engine is back to stock) like I only had 475hp,looking at my dyno reports he would have to be putting out 700hp+.CaterpillarWrench Thanks this. -
So the 620 runs a lot better than the 600.BTW you guys are great
