Does any company offer power packages like Banks used to for the first gen?

Not in the proper sense of the phrase. You decide how much money you have, how much power that can buy, and buy injectors, turbo(s), tweak the pump, exhaust, air filters. It is actually much cheaper to double your power increase over Bank$ than to go with their package. The downfall of the Banks Kits is they use the stock injectors, coupled to the stock turbo, which is only good to about 250 RWHP. That IS a 50% increase over stock, so it isnt bad, but things have come sooooo much farther in the last 6-8 years. I remember when a 16cm housing, Power Wagon (185) injectors, and some mild (by modern standards- 1-1.5 turns on power screw) pump tuning, and you had a HOT ROD 1stGen. Some of them made 275RWHP. Piers didnt think 300RWHP was possible at one time without major compromise to pump longevity, or mucho smoko.

I know i once called piers and talked to him in person. Hes a nice guy but he also said 300hp is about the max without switching the pump, which i noticed is very spendy. I was hoping for a kit to eliminate the research and trying to find everything so i can do it all at once.
