I bought a six gun w/ speed loader when I first got my truck. Works better with the speed loader. I bought it because of the safety features. I now have it stacked with a Smarty. Works very well together. If I had it to do over, I would most likely just buy the Smarty, but I have no complaints.

There was a story from one of the sites several years ago, with a destroyed motor with the Banks system.
He was from Califoria, had the system installed and drove east to get a camper. Burnt up No.6 cylinder on the way home. It took a year to get settled.
He has to buy another truck to get home.
So, it doesn't look like he had much SAFETY Features built into it!!!!

I just bought a Six Gun w/out speed loader, just the six on the fly adjustment ****, got it all hooked up, and it codes missing egt sensor...which it can come with or without. The truck did wake up a little, but not nearly as much as the Bully Dog Power Pup I had before, and thats on level six. My thoughts are that I need to buy the speed loader with sensor, but my question remains, is this normal, or does the Banks system just suck that badly. Thanks!

The 6-gun adds pressure, which I will agree is not the safest way to get power out of a truck. It also does some timing. But it doesn't really add all of this until after 1800rpm, on my truck it would begin to pull at around 2200 and fall on its face at about 2600.
