wanted to compare the two products based on the dyno results they posted on their websites in the rpm range that the duramax operates in while racing or pulling. So here is what I did picked 4 set rpms 2200, 2500, 2800, and 3100 took the stock baseline and their peak hp and tq at that rpm, added all of them up took the averages and here is what I got


banks avg hp gain from 2200 rpms to 3100 rpms= 106
banks avg tq gain from 2200 rpms to 3100 rpms= 199.5
edge avg hp gain from 2200 rpms to 3100 rpms= 105
edge avg hp gain from 2200 rpms to 3100 rpms= 253

a couple things to note edge stock tq numbers were consideribly lower resulting in higher averages yet peak tq numbers were 745 at 2200 for banks and 740 at 2500 rpms for edge this is more than likely do to different dynos , stock hp readings on both banks and edge were nearly the same, also the edge dyno does not indicate if its the 125hp version or the 150hp all though it was advertising up to 150hp, all numbers were level 6 banks, and level 5 edge

It is a reach to compare results from two different dynos and two different trucks.

My experience has been that the Banks Six-Gun is better for towing applications and the Edge is better for racing.

I agree just thought it would be interesting since banks best hp gains are so low in the rpm range, and are often discredited do to this, also both reported nearly identicle stock hp numbers
