Banks System

I have a friend trying to talk me into a banks pda system, is it any good or is it dangerous to the tranny like the edge. I do have an xcal2 from Matt. I do like the idea of shift on the fly though.

you have the best, why go to junk? you made the right choice man. The shift on the fly sounds nice too. But to save a couple of min to change tunes but kill your motor or tranny convinced me to wait a couple mins, compared to a couple grand.
Keep what you got and let the smoke roll man!

Your so called friend pushes the Banks equipment because there is a huge profit margin in it for him. Banks equipment for the 6.0 & Torqueshift is marginal to poor at best along with being way overpriced. In addition canned tunes/chips/modules are never as good as custom tuning on the 6.0 & Torqueshift.

Do a search on FTE, there are multiple threads on trashed 6.0 & Torqueshift thanks to Banks equipment.

Shift on the fly loses it's novelty after awhile, trust me I had it with the bullydog, I had to switch because I was doing other upgrades that the triple dog couldn't account for. So if your going to be upgrading anything else, what you have now gives you the option to do so in the programming, if you want with the banks system you won't have that option.
