Banks Intercooler

I was putting in my christmas requests today and this popped into mind
http://www.bankspower.com/System.cfm...08&sysid=SF36#

Much larger intercooler, with the normal 3 inch boost tubes replaced with 3.5 inch tubes and a better flowing intake elbow...

Anyone have any relative idea on how much extra power I might get out of it? Is it worth the extra 1278 bucks? The Banks sales rep said I will see more of an EGT reduction than power, but that the power increase, even if minimal, should be noticeable...

Is it worth it?

I have just the opposite problem with them Tim. I can't get them to stop sending me stuff to my house and calling here. I get about 1-2 phone calls a month from them. Just because I called and inquired about their 6 gun bundle.....

The sad part I know they build a very good package for intercoolers, and one that IMO would work extremely well with the 6.0 and it design......I do know dealers in NM that have been with them for ten years and they will not even return their phone calls...it is a REAL problem within Banks....all joking aside...horrible for business and ones reputation.
