A tuner on this motor is a bad idea.
Depending on what HP you're already at, Cat can do a number of uprates on HP. Some take a reflash, some take injectors and a turbo, some take pistons and a new balancer- all depends on where you're starting from. You can bump the motor up to marine horsepower ratings (425/990tq) but you're going to get marine lifespan out of it. At 325, it's 500,000 hour motor. At 425 it's a 3000 hour motor. And a reman short block is about $20K installed.
Like boats, how fast do you want to spend?
