Understanding Available Upgrades

Connecting Rods

• CPP Hardened Rods for up to 1500hp
• Billet Rods are for over 1500hp

****The biggest failure in the 03-18 Cummins engines is the Connecting rods which are a cracked cap powdered rod. We recommend upgrading your rods to our hardened steel rods and we do not warranty a rod failure if you choose to keep factory rods on any 03-18 Commonrail engine. This is a well known problem with these engines.

Camshaft Upgrades

• Stock cam - Cummins knows cams and these work great but they did leave a little meat on the bone when it comes to Horsepower
• 178/208 - Great cam for off the line pulling power. Really shines down low coming off idle. 
• 188/220 - Great cam for off the line pulling power but slightly higher rpm than the 178. This cam is great from idle to 4500rpm

****We also offer larger cams and custom cuts but the ramp on larger cams is more aggressive and we have found that when street driven, they are much harder on springs and moving parts and we do not recommend them for daily driving. Call to discuss if you require larger cams. We have seen 250-300 degree drops in egts using the 178 or 188 cams and we highly recommend them. 

Girdle Upgrades

• ARP Mains and rods - For those wanting increased reliability or plan to run over 750hp or 60psi boost. 
• Girdle Upgrade - For engines over 800hp, we recommend running a girdle to keep the main caps from walking which causes premature failure. 

****We have other girdles available, just call to order.

Shipping 

• We use T-Force freight but we are open to ship however you would like. You can also pick up your engine at CPP.
