Banks Six-Gun Race Box

[20050528|8|000731|000000|205.188.117.71]

I installed the race box last night and it works great! Once the truck hits second gear it really pulls strong.

Since I do not have my dyno yet, I called a friend and had him do some runs with me. My truck is a 2003 with a six inch lift and 33 inch tires. I have a Sun Coast competition transmission, exhaust upgrades, and a Holley fuel pump supplying 9 PSI to my factory fuel filter to keep a positive pressure at all times. His truck is a 2002, all stock except for an Edge box with the Attitude monitor and exhaust upgrades. That box is rated at 125 HP at the highest setting. We figure that my truck requires 20 more horsepower to stay even with him in a race due to the lift and tires.

We ran side by side with the Banks race box. We had the same results when I switched to the Edge Hot box with Attitude monitor which has a 145 HP rating. From what I can tell, the Banks Race and Edge Hot should produce very similar dyno numbers.

The Banks box has a very smooth feel and keeps the EGT

So I assume your selling these?

If a stock tranny will hold their "race" box then its not much of a contender.......... their just getting closer to the real performance boxes.....guess they learned something from the few boxes that were traded in on their six shooter :rolleyes:

Now swap boxes and try it again. I thought you learned on the dyno that the HJAT would only do 370's on a stock trans.

What you are saying then is that the 6 gun ALMOST reaches the potential of a 125HP Juice :rolleyes:


125 Juice will run 370-380RWHP on stock trans, and across 400RWHP on a beefed trans...

Sorry for the oversize image here, not sure what is up with that.

From the sound of things, Banks will be using this

We ran both trucks with the Banks and the lighter truck pulled ahead of mine. We ran his truck with the Banks and mine with the Hot Juice on 5 and mine pulled ahead. We ran my truck on 4 and the Banks in his and he lagged until he hit second gear and we were even. It is hard to say without a dyno, but with the differences in trucks it appears that the Banks is equal or above the standard Juice 125, but not as fast as the Hot version.

When a guy can flip a switch and add over 200HP, it's hard to be impressed by a 150-ish box that is hyped as a RACE program... :rolleyes:

Does anyone know if the current Banks Six Gun increases fuel-rail pressure?

The Speed Loader portion of this unit is said to be the pressure increasing part...
