Put a Button in it ya sure , son i have built Cummins to flat out and RUN and that is the last thing ya want to do . say you have a # 25 Button in it now and you drop top a # 10 all your going to do it make it run HOT . I built a NTC 350 small cam that would plum knot the socks off a KTA 600 turned up 20% and i DID NOT change out the # 35 Button that was in it from the FACTORY . I was pushen 580 PSI on the pump fed to six shooter injectors that were matched to 178 CC of fuel per 900 strokes and 68 Psi of boost from the hair drier with a gov run out of 2450 and would pull down to 1750 before we went under the charger . I can not tell you just how much pony power it made due to the fact that went placed on the dyno after a KTA 600 that they had just bumped up 20% layed down 478 ponies at 55 MPH to the ground and mine was a WEEEEEEE bit over that at 65 MPH when she broke the chain and went out the door taking the gauge conceal with it and stopping inches from the retaing wall . This happened back in early 1978 with my new 1977 I H 4300 Eagle . There were two 4300 eagles that were Built by me , mine and my one buddy 's He and i bought almost twin 4300 eagles on the same night at the same dealer and both trucks were built back to back on the line with only one number in the S/N different and the colors . we pulled coal buckets we hauled extremely heavy and fully loaded he and i could smoke anybody on the hills like we were Empty . Here east of the big Creek there was not one hump that neither Mikey or i could not take 48-50 TON Net up at less the 72 MPH . I have set up several other Cummins to run . None as far as Mike and i went . Now due to the factor of Old age as of NOW only one still alive that knew these two trucks that i am aware of is another friend that rode with me a couple times and who got to dive it for a week when my first daughter was born as i needed someone i could trust to run it . I was on my way to load a double load of C F C salt for a feed mill in Ill. when i was stopped before i pulled out as the wife called and got me stopped as she went into labor . I called Sid and put him in the truck to make the run . when he came back from that round he said it was like driving a Hemi Road Runner pulling a 16 foot boat , That double load of salt was 96000 in the wagon , the load of scrap back was 92000. Ya want real power out of a 855 , ya need the gear pump off a 1750 Cummins V 12 , next ya need the purple spring in the ft. of the pump , next ya take a 5/16th drill bit to the throttle shaft , next ya machine a slug to do away with the android and depending on Gov run out some shims , next up is a valve adjustment change and it is NOT factory as the same goes on injector settings , next up is resetting cam followers or as some call it a timing change and that is another thing i will take to the grave with me . Many ah Cummins have gone to there early grave with let's change the BUTTON . I could flat foot that sap sucker up Fancy gap Bald eagle and never see the pyro go above 1150 or water temp go over 190 with a charge on running with the cars like i was empty . Only truck i never ran against was the SOUTHERN Shaker as we never crossed paths .
