RE: BANKS 6 GUN
banks is good stuff. . .BUT for the price you pay for it you can do better.
banks makes its power by pressure and timeing. the timeing is ok and keeps EGT's cool. but the pressure is what bothers me. at idle the pressure in the fuel rail is around 3-5000 PSI. when you nail the throttle and get high boost numbers the pressure can spike to 23-26000 psi. there is a pressure relief valve on the rail that will fail very quick if the pressure goes over 26K too much. to make power on these trucks you can increase the timeing, increase duration, or raise the pressure. timeing and duration are the safest ways to make power, and while increaseing pressure does yeald good power numbers, frying the CP3, cracking injectors or the fuel rail, and blowing the pressure valve can happen and will cost alot of cash.
personaly, my favorate modules are TST, quadzilla, edge, and Van Aaken. for downloaders, bully dog, Diablo, and even though it isnt out yet, the Smarty promices to have ALOT of potential.
