Have you checked the Banks site? There, they will extol the virtues of their products as the finest there is. To be fair, they make some good stuff, just not the best, and usually overpriced. I don't have the numbers you seek, and doubt you will find them here because most folks who buy Banks did not do their homework on forums, and therefore searched the internet, or saw something in an ad or on TV. I am sure it will boost your power some.
Seems you are trying real hard to get some performance real cheap. I started out with a cookie cutter chip, and learned my lesson. It fit for me at the time, so this may fit for you now. I would recommend a TS style chip if you can find one cheap, then when you can, get Tony to reburn it for you.

its not the fact of cheap, but for $91 cdn for a bangs chip that will easily give me at least 50hp this chip does plug into my ecm but is this actually worth getting or is banks junk? because banks is a very popular unit, i dont believe this one has a dial to adjust settings...

Banks is like those TV commercials www. 46 homework.com we can get you rich in months adds. It sounds great but its really crap. It will help you out a little bit above stock but you are alot better off getting a DP-Tuner Chip or Tony Wildman chip something custom programmed for your truck.

And no, Banks stuff is not junk, it is overpriced and overhyped. If you get a deal on something that fits your truck, it will add performance. It won't beat a custom chip though.

i got the banks big hoss kit only because it was cheaper to freight all at once than buy everything individually like i wanted to do. after sending out 6 wrong chips they finally got it right and sent one to suit my computer, but by then i had had enough and brought myself a F6 off jody, i still have my banks chip in the box brand new.
personally i would wait and save up dude you wont regret it

Why not send Jody at DP-Tuner your PCM or send him your PCM code? If you send him your PCM, he will reflash it for $75. That or he can send you a PCM that has been flashed for $75 if you send back your PCM after you receive his and you like the tune?
