a TST Powermax CR, and gauges will be a good start (TST has a box with built in gauges). Or you can wait for the end of Sept for the Smarty. But the TST is adjustable on the fly.

SACRILEGE! You got "rid" of your 97. Thats like saying you got "rid" of your faithful hunting dog. Or got "rid" of your mother.



For shame!

I feel the same way... . I just bought an 06 and my faithful 98 is now parked out back of the shed. I just can't seem to pull it down to the road and slap a "For Sale" sign on it so I am only advertising it on this site which is the least I could do after so many miles of trouble free service.

It was hard to say good buy to the old girl. I was the first owner and loved every minut of driving her. She was getting cranky like my wife and I culd onlt stand to have one cranke girl in my life. So I traided here in on a yunger, sexeyer, more powerfull model. Sometime I wish it was the wife that I traided but she feeds me good

Why would you have to wait 'till the end of september for the Smarty, I've had mine for a while. Is it because of a shortage since Marco is on vacation?

The Smarty that just came out will not work on the 2006 trucks.

Yea my light up grade on my 97 was a #6 tst plate, turbo back 4" exh. ATS trany, gages stage 2 intake. The next level was working on getting injectors and new turbo/turbos.

I test drove the the 06 with the 48RE trans and loved the shift pattern over the 47RE. I am looking to make less smoke and more power. And not have to wory about the EGTs so much. The banks 6 gun bundle with powerPDA is leading the way for me right now. But too keep cost down I may go with the 6 gun and speed loader.

Does anyone have any exp. with this system?

Shane, if I remember correctly Banks turns the injection pressure up by quite a bit. Because of the problems this can cause I would look at timing/duration boxes or those with minimal pressure gain.



Someone has a web page comparing all the boxes and how they make power but I can't seem to find it. . . .
