ATS vs HYPERMAX what do ya think???

Got taxes done today, did good on refund so I will be ordering turbo kit for my motorhome soon. Application is 93 E-350 7.3 51k on the clock/ 11980 lbs. loaded. So which one to go with?? looked at ATS"s site last week but could not get it to respond.so I could not tell if they had a kit for the "E" series only "F" series listed will check again though. Anyway what do you guys that have kits on your stuff think of them???? also anybody have a BANKS set up on a van??
Thanks for any input....

I have ATS and am very pleased with it on my truck.

I put on an ATS van kit a long time ago. It wasn't much (unless they've upgraded it to a wastegated turbo I'd stay away). I more recently installed a Banks van kit. I normally hate Banks with a passion, but their van kit was pretty nice. Only problems were the cheap K&N style cone air filter they used under the hood, and the bend on one exhaust pipe wasn't quite right. Needed a little "customizing".

Those are the only 2 E series kits I've installed. As far as Hypermax goes, if it's wastegated or a "pulse" kit I wouldn't be scared of it. I put on a few of their Pulse kits on F series and they performed well. I've installed lots of ATS kits and normally they'd be my first choice, but not for a van.

I have a Banks on my 7.3 and love it. I installed it with 60k miles on the clock. I now have 170k miles and the truck pulls like the day it was first installed.
