    Anyone know what a early 2000's CH that's rated at 330 or 350 can be uprated to without changing parts? Thanks in advance.

    Asked dog the same thing but mine was little older than yours. I still had that large piece of Bosch iron hanging off the right side of the motor aka the injection pump.......and the answer was no, pump had to be reworked.

    You should have the six individual injectors cam driven in the side of the block......so here's my thoughts.....you will need the ECM from a 400, ( $500 junk yard if you look ) check the injector part numbers from a 400 vs yours...see if they are different and then check the turbo numbers, see if they are different. It may all be in the ECM.

    I bought a turbo from a 400 spec'ed and mine ran fine.....in fact a little better. Mine also did much better with a 13 speed than the 9 that came with it.

    Mine was great, made good money with it and I still have some left over parts if you need anything....hit me up on PM

    Well I don't have a mack yet but I am looking at a couple. So if I find one that is rated at 400 HP or better then I would be in better shape it sounds like. Don't really want to get into a bunch of part swapping right off the bat. What can a 400 e7 be turned up to?

    Good luck

    drove a 2000 Mach CH with a 350hp motor and 10 spd autoshift. IIRC, the 350 injectors will work up to 400 hp, above that you'll need new injectors, the timing has to be reset and a bigger turbo
     
    PowerPullin Thanks this.

    Thanks Striker. That's pretty much the info I needed to know. Any idea how the ones rated at 400 run?

    cam changes from 350 to 427 thats the biggest thing, I believe with a straight 400 your kinda stuck there you can do bigger injectors maybe have a after market file put in the ecm. 410AC file is total diffrent it makes 1660lbs of torque stock
