I would suggest a different chip/tuner, probably Smarty. I have the Edge Juice "hot" flashed and love it with the built in gauges, but everyone with the Smarty is making great power and pretty quick trucks. I have not run mine at the track but have dyno'ed it (see sig). I would suggest supporting mods like an aftermarket lift pump, r/p and f/p gauges, etc if you don't already have them.

Akpowder, you have a 4.5 yr truck ^^^ instead of the earlier ones which as you see has 20 more hp like rips. So when you order go fast goodies always tell them it's the 325hp/600 5.9 cummins. Change your sig to 4.5 3500 QC and so on....

I used to have a bdpmt w/cl tune and switched to what you see in my sig. I couldn't believe the extra power the smarty delivered. BTW I used to stay away from the crowd but gave it a shot just for the heck of it. With what's on the smarty, you can fine tune to get what your truck wants/likes the best.

I was gonna say ditch the Banks, but I bit my tounge. For what his power packs cost I could build a STRONG RUNNING truck... Banks is safe, but waaaaaayyyyyyyyyy over priced....
