Power Boost chip for 300 HP Cummins
We have a 2001 Newmar K-Star w/ the 300 Cummins. A friend suggested a chip to boost towing power. Anyone tried that as a power boost? Thoughts? Thanks

If your your 2001 is an electronic ISC (8.3 liter?) with an Allison MD3000 trans, which is likely I think, then cummins themselves can and will (for a fee) boost it for you. A factory cummins tune uses torque management to limit max torque to 1050 ft-lbs, and to reduce torque briefly during the shifts to keep your trans happy.
Call your local cummins dealer service center for info.
I haven't actually gotten it done (mine was still under warrantee when I discussed it at nPower in Hodgekins, IL) and the service guy said it would void the warrantee and I should wait. He said he could get 400 HP out of my 2008.
