Will Banks make my truck go fast and smoke a lot?

no...

There's no such thing as smoke free horsepower.

No but some of there stuff is well designed and well made. There intercooler kit for example.

:whs: never seen their intercoolers but I have seen their piping for the OBS and its not a bad product except for the gray color. As much as people hate them they atleast didn't dick around in that engineering department. Still fairly expensive though.

See how tough that grey coating is. My powdercoater had a hell of a time getting it off.

No doubt. You would think they would stick to their colors of red and silver.

I have their intake, got it dirt cheap. Only reason i bought it. Their r&d is pretty thought out but their prices are not. I would buy their hard parts but their electrical stuff with the exception of their trans command is well....eh.

Most isn't worth buying but its the best IC option for a stock style turbo IMO.unless you can DYI but the banks Y is much better piece.

As to Smoke..its not a good idea..just gives the people wanting to ban diesels fuel for the fight..

Banks will make you go slooowww. But you will smoke... a little bit.

Lol, help being stage 2 injectors and a multi-position chip?

My 96 with their powerpack, billet convertor and transcommand made a little over 300. It worked good don't get me wrong, but there is nothing better than a good set of sticks with proper tuning.

Sharp truck, I like the blacked out treatment and color keyed bumpers

Thanks, I'm gonna miss that truck! On to bigger and better things.

Ok I saw Banks and it reminded me about something that happened today in class. So im on my second day of diesel Wyotech training(please hold in any negitive comments). And behind me is this dude who started talking about his cousins truck while we were on break. He said "yeah my cousin bought that Banks Power system for like 8 grand or sumtin and it came with this giant turbo and he makes a litttle over 100 lbs of boost on his 7.3" i said wow, laughed, and shook my head as i turned around. He later left and about 4 or 5 of us just looked at each other and laughed. LOL

The only item that I know anyone in the 7.3 crowd goes for is banks IC spider for the OBS trucks.

They buy the kit and take the spider and ebay the rest cause the 6.0 cooler is better than their overpriced name junk.
Banks himself has said that PSD's are junk.

 

[Tom S]

I would not dump my Banks intercooler for a 6.0.
