Should I get a Banks 6-gun???

[Rodslinger]

Hey on this whole tuner thing - I want on the fly. Think I should swap out to a Banks 6-gun? I love my Predator but I only need to kick the crap out of someone every so often. What do y'all think?

How is the whole "on the fly" thing? My Predator I program and it says it still take a couple cold starts to take effect. Banks really has it "on the fly"?

...I've got a 6-gun in my 05',had one in my 04',never had any concerns with either one...even pushed 3 kits on my bow-tie buds! I absolutely believe its one of the best products out there for reliability. I've driven trucks with more power but i'm not sure how long they'll stay together...I have 52,000 miles on the 05 and had 45,000 on the 04 all under banks power! Your heads will even stay bolted down maxing out @ 32 lbs of boost. I've worked my trucks hard for work and play and never had a problem. 100+ rear wheel hp with saftey built in is nothing to beepbeepbeepbeepbeep about...still make all my buds and their 5.0's look bad!

oops! sorry about that...the 6-gun control is on a reostat so every setting is just a larger percentage of the max. The transmission however needs to 'learn' the power level but once you've been at 6 you can switch on the fly. I personally leave it on 6 empty and 4 when towing, thats where I found I get the best mileage...2-3 mpg better

Thanks for the info Timmy and if I haven't already - welcome to Powerstroke.org! I think I may just go ahead and make the leap - I've read a lot on it and it's great to get feedback from someone whose used it. Thanks again man!!!

you mean the power ain't there when you unplug programer? or am i not under standing? mine is there as soon i unplug and start up.

Naw it's there - shifting has in the past taken a few cold starts to get what I feel is adequate but all in all especially since my Predator update it's been nice. I just want to be able to dial it when I need it.

If you want the shift on the fly the Banks stuff is good, also TS Performance has the MP-8 http://www.tsperformanceproducts.com/ford/60L.asp

Quadzilla also has the Xzillaraider http://www.quadzillapower.com/ford-p...ke/xz-60L.html it too is incab adjustable.

PPE also has the power enforcer http://www.pacificp.com/computerford.htm#enforcerford again it too is adjustable.

There are alot of options now for what you want. The Banks is by far the most popular. We carry all of these, and havent had any troubles with any of them that couldnt be fixed easily.

I almost forgot. Diablosport is also coming out with the Trinity this fall.
