N-14 Celect/Celect Plus
Caterpillar 3126, C-10, C-12, 3406E, C-15, C-16 and Acert engines
Detroit Diesel D Deck III, IV & V engines (will not work on early D Deck)
ISX Cummins will be released in early spring of 2008
The average person should have no problem installing one by their selves. If you can drill and tap a hole, hook up some electrical connections and drill a hole in the firewall you are ready to do it yourself. Please refer to the installation instructions below.

These specifications are at the REAR WHEELS! Not at the flywheel except where noted.
Caterpillar: 3126, C-10, C-12: Up to 125HP and 250FT/LBS torque
Caterpillar: 3406E, C-15, C-16 and Acert: 210HP and 500+FT/LBS torque
Cummins Celect/Celect Plus: up to 175 flywheel HP and 400FT/LBS of torque depending on the CPL# of your engine.
Cummins ISX: Specifications will be released when the product is available for purchase in the spring of 2008.
Anything you do to modify the engine may have an adverse affect on a warranty. If you have a problem and it is not horsepower related, it should still be covered as long as the added power did not cause the failure. But we recommend removing the item prior warrantable repairs. It leaves no trace that it was ever installed.
The original engine computer remains in place and functioning normally. It is not affected by the Pittsburgh Power and no traces of the upgrade are left after removal.
One year.
The cost is $2295.00-2523.36 depending on the engine. Early Celect engines may require a boost sensor and adapter plate. Installation labor at our shop would be under $300.00.
Your engines ability to run a full service life will be directly related to your driving habits. Most drivers are using level two or three, as recommended, for normal driving and are enjoying the benefits there. Level three equates to around 100 added flywheel horsepower in most cases and that is a tremendous improvement over stock. Added fuel mileage along with the additional power added at those levels is considered to be perfectly safe. The higher power levels were designed with our sled puller and drag racers in mind. We have had people ask us “But what if I only use the highest power levels in the mountains”? Think about that for a minute. When you are on flat level ground the engine is doing the same amount of work and using the same amount of fuel no matter if you are on level zero or level nine. It is in the mountains where the engine can develop that maximum horsepower for extended periods. “What if my pyrometer temperatures are still running cool”? You cannot gauge cylinder pressure and that will shorten engine life if used excessively over a period of time.
The optional turbo for the Cummins, Cat and
Absolutely! We have not had one horsepower related driveline failure to this date on any of our high performance diesel configurations.
The Pittsburgh Power is only available for the engines listed above, at this time, and we are working on the other engines. We hope to have the ISX ready to go for early spring of 2008.
We will in no way add more RPM to the engine and, at this time, have no way to do so.
Your manifold pressure will increase. How much of an increase will vary from engine to engine. Please keep in mind you don't get power from air. The air is there to control the smoke output and keep your exhaust gas temperatures down.
We do not affect the smoke output of the engine. Black smoke wastes fuel and we know what is happening to the cost of fuel.
15. Fuel Mileage with the
With today’s extremely high fuel prices
please keep in mind when thinking about fuel mileage: This unit is a performance enhancement . Generally, when you improve performance, fuel mileage is also improved.
Fuel mileage can be increased when using this unit if you are an average owner
operator pulling 60-80K lbs. across country. Under these conditions an
average improvement of 3 tenths MPG is very common. Some of our customers
have seen over one MPG improvement in mileage. There are also situations
where there may be no improvement in
mileage. These are:
Running
around empty
Pulling very light loads
Running on flat level terrain
Pulling oversize or over weight loads
Running high power levels
Using the unit to gain enough power to run at excessive speeds.
