Hey guys, I have a 03 duramax with the six gun w/speed loader, banks exhaust, big head wastegate, volant intake, and dynafact gauges and i am making about 30 psi and i am flat out board. I broke a cv shaft about 4 weeks ago, that was a little expensive (opps), but it was fun until the tow truck came. any way I want more black smoke and more power but i have a stock tranny. any ideas what i can do without propane ontop of what i already have to get more power and BLACK smoke? http://dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif http://dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Rock%20On.gifThanks, Brent

I think a trans is next.
Or the smoke WILL be the trans.

You can go either way....power first trans. later....other way around....but you will need the holding power sooner or later. I went with too much power first and was forced into my Suncoast. Your choice. I don't know much about the Banks as I run the H/Attitude and Johns' VA.

How do you like your suncaost and who has the best deals? what are the best trans upgrades for the money.

I like my stage 3 Suncoast very much. You can buy the kits directly from Suncoast tax free and have it installed. Call Eric for that... www.gmdieseltech.com/store2/ (http://www.gmdieseltech.com/store2/) he should be close to you. He has done many,many installs, and would be my first choice if I lived out that way.

Banksduramax,
Which version of the 6-gun do you have?

Either be happy with what you have or get a trans upgrade and a race program of some sorts. If you say you are flat out bored I dont think even a reflash on the banks will make you happy though if you dont have thier "hottest" version.
I have a TTS Extreme and she will get up and move prety good and lay down some smokehttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/hihi.gif
I went from a regular juice witch was fun and then upgrade my trans and set the juice to the high setting ands that was fun for about 3 days and then got it upgraded to a hot juice(stronger than the banks and defiantly smokey) and that was entertaining for a few.....then I got my Extreme and I still get a chubby when I lay into the go pedal. Gota either get the "baby" Extreme or get get the big one and run a lift pump though.
JMO but leave the BBQ gas for cooking hamburgers. If you get bored with a BIG program and are running extra air of some sorts to burn it all up and are back in search of more fuel then you are getting really nuts.

Oh come on rat, I am running big programs and am always wanting more, I will see after I get some air, but chances are I will want more fuel after the air.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/hihi.gif

Sssshhhh. I wanted him(and his better 1/2 if equiped) to think there was a light at the end of the tunnel. We all know that its never enoughhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/hihi.gif For now the Extreme is still enough for instant wood thoughhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif

If you have verison 2, I wouldn't go with any more power until tranny work is done. If you have version 1, have it re-flashed. There's a noticable difference between the two. It may hold your boredom off for a while, and it's also free of charge.

Thanks guys, the info is very helpfull. I think that I have version one because I have had it almost a year. the reflash will probaly hold the boardom for a little while but then again you can never have too much powerhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/hihi.gif
