Bullittracr,
I personally perfer the Banks systems. Have had the Banks power pack on my 02 V 10, it was an animal. It is a little more expensive, but worth it because it has all the safety features built in to protect the drive train and engine, I have yet to purchase the Banks system for my 08 6.4 (have to OK it with my financial advisor), but will later on. That is my opinion.

running the 6-gun for about 15K miles now and the ram air about 20K I guess. Works well.

never had it dyno'd so don't know if what they claim is accurate, but the power is quite noticeable.

I have had it back to stock one time and it was a dawg.

I like the Banks set up as well and have had it working on several of my trucks in the past. Your only issue is if you want to delete the DPF.

There are plenty of sponsors if you just look up on this website that is a good place look for parts. I have gotten some great products from the sponsors and support those people as much as I can.

Best DPF delete tuner is probably the Spartan but there are others out there. Edge does nothing with the Tranny as of the last time I checked which is an issue when increasing HP.

hey senix, when you say it was a dog?? is that because the banks takes out the turbo lag when you first hit the accellerator i know my 6.0 was like that.. fast when i got it but with SCT it was crazy fast and when i returned to stock i thought..man what a dog this truck is.... basically spoiled by the extra horses !!

some turbo lag is still there due to the EPA, but it is greatly reduced. If you just ease into like now and then nail it i can burn rubber.

I think the how your describing the SCT is what I mean as well.

Senix, i love your avatar snow picture. You have an 08 truck in the picture but your camera date I think said April of 2003. Thats funny.

to be on topic, can you get a DPF delete from Banks?
