Just got off the phone with one of the tech's at Banks and asked about the new BanksSpeed. He told me they were working out a few bugs but it shouldn't be long. Also asked if it was intended for race only or for street use too. He said that is one of the things they a working out. Said it will have more features that the SixGun but he not tell me what they were . Can't wait to see it.

I sure hope its a dpf delete so can try it out. If they say they working out the bugs that is prob meaning a dpf delete is being worked out, to work with the EPA.
The part numbers were just thrown in to allow their web guys to list it online. One of those programming glitches that some web systems have. Correct Part Numbers will be available soon.
YES!
It will have a DPF delete option AND an EGR delete option. This not only for the Dmax either!!!! Expect some cool things from this little box.
I can tell you that it will allow you to do some things that will require additional engine work internally if you want to use all of its functions. I am not at liberty to say what all just yet, but it will have some industry firsts available.
If this is as good as it sounds like it could be, then as long as they dont put a retarded price on it, Banks could have a real winner here. As is obvious by the D-Max powered S-10 they run, they definately know how to get clean power. I am curious to see whats up with this. Its gonna hafta be incredible to be able to take my sights off EFI live.

Well I can tell you one thing, considering the 6 gun is around 950.00 and EFI live is around 750.00, the BankSpeed will easily be 1000.00 or more. If I would of known EFI live was only 750.00, I would of bought that instead. Don't get me wrong, I love my Banks system, but EFI live has more shut off options and the chance for better fuel economy.

Once the Banks speed is available i will try and get one coming to for my truck. Banks has proved what they can do with all there race trucks so i am very excited to have this product to the market.
I think the big thing the Banks will have going for it will be that you can tune and save in real time, which requires a laptop with EFI. Its going to be the same basic unit as the 6 gun with PDA, only alot more potent. I don't have any expected pricing info from them, but the 6 gun with PDA retails for $950 plus the PDA, so I would expect with the power and control you can gain with this unit, and the race specific nature for it to run in the $1000-$1200 range, plus PDA. We'll see. I can tell you that there are a few options in this tuner that alone are worth that cost!!
