Cant decide-Banks 6 Gun or Edge Juice/Attitude

I know most of you dont like the Banks 6 gun, but I was wondering why the Edge is better. I know you can stack the Edge better, but I'm not sure that I ever will. Also I know it has been said on here that if you ever go with an aftermarket turbo that you cannot change the boost limits over 40psi. What about if you put new injectors and other upgrades, does the banks limit all these too. I have already got the PDA and was all set on the banks until I found this site, but now I'm thinking about the Edge in case I want to make future upgrades. I do know that want one of the two though, because I want the saftey features and guages.

I couldn't for the life of me keep an Edge long enough. I must of sent 3 juice modules and 1 EZ back. I like the idea of the Palm Banks has.

If you already know what we are going to say, why ask. My brother in law has one sitting in a box in his garage and he won't even put it up for sale because he doesn't want to sell a piece of junk to somebody.

If you want on the fly adjustability, go with Edge or Quadzilla.

I like the Bank(I have no experience with Edge). It is safe power, and has preformed as advertised. I have had good experiences with their CS department.

Have an aftermarket fuel pump, like AirDog, FASS, or Glacier? Reason I asked is my Edge, especially on any level above 3, couldn't supply enough fuel to the CP3. And you don't want that action.

I think the #1 box out right now is the Smarty, but if it was between the edge and the bulldog I would go with the edge. I have ran one on my truck for over 20k with no problems, I like the safety features also. I have since upgaded mine to the hot unlock and put a turbo timer on it, I like that I could upgrade my truck without having to buy a new programmer.

Ive heard the Edge is great but depending on what you want out of the truck Banks is safe and reliable. Ive got one and still ran a 14.8 And then got 20mpg on the way home from the dragway!!!

If you are considering Banks, don't. I had the 6gun and speed loader, a lot of money for few inaccurate features. Tranny slip safety DOES NOT WORK, false alarms all the time. If you want that type of a pressure box, get the Quadzilla Race X2, it's awesome and worth every penny. You should really be after a Smarty though, read up on it.

I had both on my truck at one time or another. The Banks power felt like it was smoother than the Edge and lower EGT (being pressure), but the Banks power comes in at a higher RPM. Banks would work great for off roading in more softer terrian when you need to get the rpm's up there.

The Edge has more bottom end power and can feel the difference. The PDA was a cool little feature for all your guages, but would not stay connected/linked up to the Six Gun. Kepted getting not connected. Both are going to run you the same price (give or take $100). If you buy through a authorize seller/dealer.
