Banks???

The local 4x4 shop is closing its doors for good, they have a banks intercooler kit with the high ram intake and a new six-gun with spped loader in stock for 30-40% off. What do yall think, worth it? I have a triple dog and I like the smoke, but dont know about the tranny. I just want reliable power and customer service.

My brother in law has the 6 gun on his truck. New, it is overpriced. 40% off, I'd say it's worth it. It does the job. Has better off idle response than my edge.

The banks intercooler is a good unit, the high ram looks ok, I am not sure that it does anything. The electronics though are on the weak side. I paid 1000 cdn for my ic and high ram. I wouldnt pay more than that

The Banks kit is high quality but way overpriced. Your Bully Dog will be stronger but the Banks will probably be safer. If you are not going to stack I would say go for it. I found the Banks was not very stackable because of the safeties. It is reliable, safe, over priced power. Keep the IC and HR and sell the 6gun crap.

Why do people keep refering to a stack? He only mentioned the 6gun with speedloader. That isn't a stack. It's like the Juice and you can add the attitude monitor for more control.

Actually it is a sort of stack.(Six gun $ Speed Loader). I thought he'd pair it with his BTD. Maybe I'm wrong.

I already sold the triple dog so now I need something bad. I know the Banks is $$$$ but its safe. I called today and they still have the kit in stock.

I'd just go for the intercooler. Banks has pretty good hard parts but there electronic parts are only marginal for the price, IMO.

For the price and I would check around on the net to make sure your getting a good price it would be worth it. Like it's been said it is one of the safer units.

I obviously have it(Six Gun & Speed Loader), and it's safe and ok. Really tends to kick in after about 1800 RPM. I didn't understand you had sold the BTD.

I know a lot of people happy with the reliability of banks. They may not claim all the huge power increases that the others do, but they are reliable.
