What setting for towing?

Willivy,
In our instruction manual we recommend no higher than level 4 when towing for automatics, level 3 when the Speed-Loader is included. Manuals with a stock clutch should not exceed level 3 (Level 2 with Speed-Loader) when towing.

What are the HP & Torque numbers for the LLY 6 gun?

TIA Pete

Buck,
The Six-Gun on the LLY will increase power by about 124 horsepower and 303 lb-ft torque on its highest setting.

With speedloader?

Yes, that is Level 6 with Speed-Loader.

I should have been more clear:eek: Power gains (HP&Torque)for each level without the speed loader.
Level 1 is stock correct? What are the gains for level 2-6?


Thanks again

For a stock transmission, those horsepower and torque gains are all you're going to want.
LB7 300hp 520tq 6-gun with speedloader 155hp 385tq = 455hp 905tq (best gain)
LLY 310hp 605tq 6-gun with speedloader 124hp 303tq = 434hp 908tq (best gain)

I think Buck wants to see the specs of the power added on EACH level.

The banks power isn't peak power but the max power it added at some RPM.

Like 200hp@1800rpm went to 324@1800rpm w/ the speedloader unless they rated the LLY different.

We need John K to put it on the 'lie detector' to get the real #s for each level.

Its always amazed me why Banks does not post the six power curves for their 6-gun DMAX product. A lot of people would like to see the power/torque curves for the 2 and 3 settings so they know what they are getting when using the product while towing. Get with the program "Banks".

For those with the LB7, you can see all 6 settings on Diesel Power's website:

I wish Diesel Power would do each level for version 2 of the 6-gun for the LB7. There's a noticable difference. I would think that the 6-gun for the LLY will also be stock on level 1 and add 20% of the full power on each level. The numbers below are probably pretty close.

6-gun w/o speedloader 6-gun w/speedloader
level 2 20hp 25hp
level 3 40hp 50hp
level 4 59hp 74hp
level 5 79hp 99hp
level 6 99hp 124hp
