My uncle had a sharp LT9000 that ended up over turned when his dump trailer door hung. Sharpest Ford I had ever seen.

I have talked to the Cat shop, I have asked on multiple forums and nobody has any good news for me.

They are electronically controlled so no turning up the pump. I thought about a bigger charger, but unless I can feed it more fuel, that is a waste.

I am open to any ideas, hell I'd love to get it to at least 400hp...

Yeah, there's got to be something can be done with it. I know all the big trucks I've ever driven can be turned up, not sure about these 550 Cats though. I think they are probably about maxxed out. Radioflyer, i like your sig, that's pretty good.
