Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Stock vs. Catcher?

[RJPotts]

Just wonderign if anyone has and hp/tq numbers comparing a stock truck to the catcher.

I like what I've been reading about this and spoke to my teacher about the whole thing (Cummins/Cat/Detroit, etc... master tech) And he said that they have been reflashing ECMs this way for years and years and it is the "safest" way to make the truck do what you want.

Therefor, I'm convinced the ECM is for me, just wondering if its traceable once its taken out since I'm still under warranty, and if my stock clutch will handle the extra power it will make.

Oh yeah, I guess another question is... where is the best place to get one, I can get another ECM to send off or for core if this is cheaper.

Thanks in advance,

R. J.

The CaTCHER as a stand alone is good for about 50 hp gain over stock. your stock clutch should handle that okay but add injectors & you will be shopping for a better clutch.



A couple of dealers that can help you out & answer more questions:

I'll second that, Darkhorse! I just found out that my stock clutch did not like my Catcher and Mach 1. 6's after all. SB ConOFE enroute.
