Don't bother getting anything from Banks for a Ford. Maybe for a Dmax, but personally I wouldn't buy anything from them for any truck. They can talk whatever they want about making smokeless power, but anyone can do that with 4+ stages of nitrous on a drag truck.. When they do something on fuel only, I might change my attitude about them.

Their IC kits are ok for the OBS Powerstroke, but wayyyyy overpriced. Their performance modules, turbos, "quick spool" housings..... All junk and not worth buying.

Oh yeah, Banks sells gas stuff too. LOL
I heard their headers are pretty nice for the 460. That's about all I've heard anything about on their gas stuff.

DMAX = Duramax (Isuzu/GM diesel). Fords have PSDs (PowerStroke Diesels (made by Navistar), or IDIs (indirect injection) made by International (pre and early Navistar years).

Personally I would not waste my money on Banks gas performance parts, or diesel parts for that matter. Depending on what you're looking to gain there and tons of different manufacturers that you can use. However, Banks is definitely not one that comes at the top of the list.
