Banks 6 Gun Tuner

LB7 Dirtymax · 11-05-2009, 11:17 AM

Any info on how the 6 gun is for power? Im still undecided on a programmer and I got looking at the 6 gun because is has on the fly selection. Does is blow much smoke? Im still looking into good power and smoke.

the six gun can go to 100+hp with the SL they have decent power...if you don't have a dpf or efg running they will smoke some

I have and 02 LB7. I like that the 6 gun i on the fly select, thats why i was looking into it and on the banks website it says it will add 155hp which is nice but i also want a good amount of smoke. I knew someone that had an LB7 with the 6 gun in it a few years back that smoked a lot, but maybe the newer 6 gun tuners dont as much.

banks has more then enough power to toast your trans in speed loader...

i ran mid 14 1/4 times on 315/75/16 tires with mine...very happy with the power..

but for the money i think you could do better...look in ats e-power or ppe tuners..

or you can go all out and get efiLive

alright, i was really looking into getting the PPE standard xcelerator, just thought the 6 gun would be nice because of the 6 on the fly selections

yea the whole on the fly thing is actually terrible for your trans...i found out the hard way...

but for about the same price as a ppe standard you can get an ats e-power that is exactly the same as a ppe hot+2..

as annoying as it sounds its really not hard to pull over and change tunes...its a good thing to pick one to leave it on 90% of the time anyway

I havent looked into the ATS programmers, but for the same price as the standard xcelrator, 300hp is good. It is pretty much the same as PPE?

exact same tunes even looks exactly the same...just a different label on it...only problem with access to such big tunes is that its hard to resist and anything over the 120 tune you could hurt your trans

I plan on getting different converter and shift kit when i decide on the programmer i want to get but now im looking towards getting the ATS E-Power with the it having more power than the standard PPE at the same price. I love power but i also love the smoke for the assholes that ride your ass, is there a good amount of smoke too?
