Banks
LJolley,
I'm afraid that most of the posts will be skewed against Banks. However there are those of us with Banks equipment who think it is a very good starting point.
The exhaust is a quality component.
The Turbo housing is also an improvement on stock.
Guages are a must.
Banks is pricey (HIGH) but the quality of the equipment is as good as the competition.
I do not have the Banks Ottomind computer installed in my rig. I didn't quite like the idea of puncturing the pump wire. I feel that the EZ is a better option for an untobtrusive fuel enhancement. The 275's are also woth the money.
I live in So Cal so the smog police are all over. Smoke is unacceptable to me otherwise I would have stuck with the step 2 injectors which I tried but couldn't tolerate.
All in all I don't regret buying the Banks equipment that I have. They were my first BOMB upgrades and they were chosen with moderation, performance and reliability in mind. If you look at my signature you'll see many other upgrades. They all work well with each other. I have never had a warranty claim denied by my 5 star dealer and there have been several to date.
Choose what's right for you. That's really all that matters.
