Wonder if that would work with my LB7?

I stacked my Banks Six Gun with the Zilla and it works like a charm. Zero problems. Still will buy EFI live

it will stack, the other problem is timing. to much timing and you can start to burn up your pistons, so if you get the ppe when it asks you if if you would like to increase timing press no....

What if you increase fuel?

What about using like a MP8 "chip" then like a cheaper "programmer" like a Diablo sport...how well would that work

Fuel and timing, Timing is the HUGH problem. If one programmer adds 1/2 a degree and the other adds a full degree you have to add them together. This COULD cause engine damage. Duramaxs arnt like the f350's a extra defree of initial timing on a duramax is like 8 degrees in the f350. I still would not do it. Just my opinion.

If you do it like everyone else on here your not doubling timing or fuel tunes

its just for emission codes and speedo calibration

I really liked the Banks tuning just a little lag on the bottom end, I think to keep the tune cleaner. With any inline system it has its limitations and needs help from a programmer

I agree with the bottom end lag. I wonder if switching over to ppe or EFI will help?

PPE has little enough lag from my experience. I love mine.

Before I got EFI, I had a Six Gun stacked with a Predator for speedo calibrations. Worked like a charm. I never had any issues with needing to disconnect the Banks for a flash either. I turned it down to level 1 (stock) and did my flash. I did try stacking the tunes too, but I got timing rattle really easy so I would certainly not recommend it. If used for tire size adjustments and clearing codes it was great though. I actually still use the diablo for codes and such as it fits perfect in the door pocket and I dont feel bad about it getting beat up a bit staying in their, as opposed to my EFI unit.
