I ordered one two months before they were available from a friend that is a dealer and still do not have it. I trust Banks but I am ready to give up on them and buy an Edge or Predator instead from one of the sponsors in here. I also ordered gauges from them because I understood that they work well with their product and plug directly into the unit. Since the six gun has not showed up yet at the shop neither has the gauges. Banks likes to ship complete to dealers from what I understand I have not been impressed with their service but I still believe their products are good.

I saw their system on a 6.0L on TV...on Spike! and it was very impressive. IIRC they tested it on a 2WD F-250 with some rims and they must have needed new tires after they were done, they did a lot of smoke shows. Very impressive, but I'm not ready to spend that money. My Predator works just fine.

I saw that advertised as well, but I had already pre-ordered mine in March. The program did more than just a chip upgrade though to get that kind of performance and I agree the money for the Banks system may not be worth it and as I stated before and if they do not send it soon to the dealer I bought it from I will be buying something else instead.

I have not seen it re-aired for about a month but last weekend I saw them put the Edge into a Chevy. The install looked much more simpler to do and with the tuner called Juice I believe, you do not have to buy the gauge pod because it is all electronically handled. I am sure that a Ford install would be just as easy as the Chevy and the Banks chip for the 6.0 PSD costs almost $800 by itself. The Edge with the tuner included is less than that and the install seemed real simple.
