I got mine mostly to keep my EGTs down. I wish I had pre and post temps to compare but I got all my stuff put on at the same time.

A friend of a friend went directly to Banks, paid like 5 or $6000 for a "full package". He was not happy with the performance he got out of it for that kind of $. Ended up blowing the motor with less then 20,000 on it. I think the majority here will tell you the intercooler system is good, along with Spearco, but to stay away from their tuners, etc.

I don't know how much you're going to pay for the banks but I'd look into the Spearco also. It's as good if not better than the banks and they stand behind them very well. I've known them to replace defective units even after the warranty was well past. They are both very good products in THIS instance.
