I have a 1996 ford f250 with a 460 efi and was wondering if the banks power pack is worth getting or if there are better parts to get. I was also wondering if there is a chip i can get for it and if that is something i should get. Thanks.

 

I just had the Banks exhust system put on my 1993 460 e40d truck. I'm glad I had it installed by my mechanic, there were 4 broken bolts removing the old exhust. I also installed the banks trans command myself- (easy). I did notice better acceleration driving it home, and i went from 11.5 to almost 13 MPGs-- but the real test will be towing my trailer in 2 weeks, 8800# and 32 ft long. (The reason I bought the Banks exhust). I hope it lives up to the numbers they (Banks) claim it will add to the truck.

 

There is no 'chip' for your truck. If you are so inclined to do computer mods, you would need to buy the proper softwear to tune your efi. Probably more effort then you are looking for.

As for the Banks kit, you may be able to assemble a 'kit' like it for cheaper with off the shelf parts, but you may pr may not see the same numbers as they advertise, as they may well be 'matched' parts for te application.

 

I had the banks stinger pack on my '97 460, it's the same as the power pack but doesn't have the headers. didn't really like the exhaust much because it was as quiet as stock.
Jet chip does make a chip for EFI 460's. You have to use premium gas or it will ping though.
Troyer performance makes under drive pulleys for EFI 460's. I have a set and really like them.

where are you from smokin tires? I would sell you my banks catback and "ram air" intake if you are interested. It would probably be too expensive to ship the exhaust though.

 

Im in reedsport oregon. Im not very interested in the banks intake and muffler. Im looking for a loud muffler and i've heard good things about the stock air intake on these. Thanks though.

 

fordxtc, how do you like the sound compared to the stock exhaust? Does it give it any more of a rumble? I know sound should be secondary to performance but I do want a truck that can turn some heads coming down the street

 

The Banks exhust isn't any louder then the flowmaster I had on it. The big improvement was in the power, it really woke up the 460.
