Big Dually,
Check this link: http://www.bankspower.com/test_results_AF05.cfm
No loss in tq at any rpms.
There are 2 sensors. I am concerned about the location of that one sensor location. It seems as if it will only read 2 cylinders. I hope the computer will understand that.

V-10man, thanks for the info. Those figures look good. I was only going by what a few V-10-ers said about the Banks headers. that they are too free flowing and there was no change in lower RPM. But one you get on it, you can feel the deffernce when it winds up above 2500 + RPM. I think most will agree, that the quality of Banks headers are the best. How do you like your Borla headers V-10man ?

The Borlas have been good to me. 
Have about 70,000 miles on them and no problems. I will admit my truck loves 3000rpms and up. The V10 likes to rev.. 
I've surprised myself a few times, hitting a 6 or 7% grade at 70mph +, 3rd gear, rpms in the 3000+ range.. and it just kept going... If ya keep the rpms up it will pull! I'm usually towing a 28 foot TT, 6500 pounds or so plus a bed full of water jugs, firewood, generator... Those times where my speed drops to 50mph or so and I kick her into second gear the truck as always sped up. I love that!! I try not to go over 4200-4500rpms...
