Banks Six-Gun Bundle worth the money?

Is the Banks six-gun bundle worth the $2K? I mean at least if you compare the bundle vs buying each piece seperate it pays. You would get the Banks 6 gun loader with the new iQ. but is there a better way to get the same 155+ hp for the same money or cheaper? What I have now sucks and time to upgrade. Any input?

Banks makes great products but there are cheaper ways to achieve the same hp.

Yes, there are cheeper alternatives, but there arnt many that are as clean as Banks and as safe on the truck, Also the new IQ is really sweet. Where are you getting the quote from that is 2k? But in my opinion banks is the best for a daily driver that dosent want EFI live. But if you want to make your own tunes go for EFI LIVE...

^^^^^^efi is a little more confusing than "make your own tunes"

you have to be pretty computer inclined to just load the tunes..

efi is the best programming out there but isnt just for anyone

Banks is great for those of us that don't want to mess with the computer all the time... I didn't get the intercooler on mine and it runs great!! Don't spend 2k on it though. I like the safty feature in the Banks. That is why I bought it.
