    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    Failed experiments are still good data, and we still like hearing about the adventures of our resident mad scientists! I've been watching very intently all these mods. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    I tend to install parts for folks that have more $ than sense and get to watch while they tear it all up. I just bought this for my wife 2005 Ram 3500 5.9L 48k miles! we were checking to see what a 4in lift was going to look like. So in addition to the 4in lift it's getting traction bars...

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    Can't say I did or have owned a Powerchoke, I happened to be riding shotgun in a good friends truck that night. It was a 90's era corvette. I'm of the Cummins persuasion, and won't put a power adder like a programmer on truck I depend on. My brother had a 6.7 Cummins in a 3500 drw that we...

    That's nothing new, I'd say be glad he wasn't in a newer truck or he would have made you look silly. The 6.0 Ford could stomp a Corvette with nothing but a programmer on it. You had to launch it in 4x4 to get any traction. Ask me how I know. ... Diesel engine performance has progressed by...

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    So I just turned the rate screw, pre boost screw, and gov springs. I don't recall what the before temps were. So mine won't get above 1160F unless I'm lugging it. It will pull WOT up a grade as long as you keep the rpm above 1800 it normally runs 23-25 psi. Anything below 1500 rpm up a...

    Yeah, I followed neverenoughhp's write up. It was really moving.

    2 clicks on the gov springs, turned the pre boost adjustment up some (star wheel) (no effect other than smoke cloud of you mat it from a stand still) then adjusted the rate screw on top. Still haven't gotten around to doing the full rack travel adjustment

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    No EGT's were fine and it was making awesome power. A little too awesome. ..... The truck was lunging hard with the up shift into 3rd and 4th. It would shift and not pull the engine rpms down like it normally would, but instead accel rather quick when it shifted. I didn't think the Trans would...

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    Yeah, there's enough. The tubes fairly thick, almost a 1/8th inch if I remember right. Mine's been in a year with no sign of problem. When I was running the pump the most I saw was 35 psi and I turned it down from there. I normally see 28 psi max.

    No need to weld a bung in the intake tube. My boost guage came with a 1/4 NPT fitting to hook to the pipe. I removed the intake tube to drill and tap a port, then reinstalled. Tube is steel so it works fine.

    Well I can't say I've hit the gov in mine, but I only did 2 clicks and my wife has called from the chase truck to say SLOW DOWN cause I was pushing 70 to 72mph.

    Mine idles lower than 400F and I've adjusted mine some

    Dirty old man, get you mind out of the gutter! Yeah, I probably should have worded that better.

    Pic of your special tool?

    From what I understand, the gov springs are basically like a rev limiter

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    Why did you need the special socket? Could you have loosened the 10mm and then just put a 14mm in there to turn the nut or did I miss something? Does the 14mm need to be held for some reason?

    Just what can I expect by doing the full fuel adjustment?
