Parts needed to hop-up a Cummins Big Cam

I thought I don't need to mention fuel pump setting because that's where you set the power to where you want it to be, those parts just makes it possible.

You can take stock NTC400 and with only pump work you can get 600-650 hp, whereas with 3406 that is about maximum you can get with all high performance parts if using Cat fuel pump. So with Cummins that is where the real tuning starts and it ends at about 1100 hp.

 

To get that kind of horsepower, I know first hand you better get the aluminum pistons coated, I believe its ceramic to with stand the heat.

 

Have fun, looks like lenny can help you with everything you need. I'm out.

 

Ditto on what SmokinCAT said

 

Besides completely rebuilding one after the pistons had melted to the liners, no I havent had many issues, but the hottest one doesnt work either, its just a toy. It would have to be turned down a decent ways to where it would live on the road.

 

Retarded Bruce timing or lugging it down with lots of fuel causing too advanced timing cracking the piston?

Hopped up PT Cummins needs a driver who knows how PT system works. Caterpillar is more tolerant to driver abuse.
