Hey guys,

New to the site and wanted to say GREAT INFORMATIVE SITE!! As far as the banks system goes, I am heading down there in the morning to pick up my bundle kit.):h By the way, I have an 05 D/A CC. I was supposed to make it down there today, but road closures kept me away from Azusa. I can't wait to get my hands on the system. I'll keep you informed how it turns out!

Im between the two products. Banks is claiming 8 h.p gain and 33lb-ft better than the Edge. Banks also comes with its claims of reliability and credibility... Getting down to the dirt. (outside of the cost) Who makes the product worth purchasing. It seems as the majority of the page is Edge fans. So heres a couple of questions. Edge oviously has the ability to stack programmers. My understanding so far is with the Banks,(in terms of stacking) it's:


A.) Not been tried
B.) Cannot be done.

So long term performance upgrades (stacks, tranny upgrade, etc..) seems as if Edge is better, minus the claims to the occasional problems with the Edge. Which being the most common? (If Any) Although the flip side is that Banks does bring quite a package. If I'm more of a unloaded daily driver than a loaded one, and looking for the ability to produce higher hp/torq. gains such as stacks, ats tranny, in the given future. Give me some shouts on opinion. Im coming from a history of Banks products..but in the rhelm on the LLY/Duramax - your opinion counts!


Thanks,
- Mark

p.s - I think Im set on the MBRP exhaust and plan on adding aftermarket (autometer gauges regaurdless of what the programers come with.)

Get the edge or predator to play w/ now (cheaper) and get the PLIII or extreme when they come out.

i made out with six-gun, air filter, gauge assembly, monster exhaust, that's it. the speed loader, temp gauge, and pillar mount are going to be shipped to me. this is my experience, hope it turns out better for other folks.

have you guys seen the printed information from banks on the lly?The lly is worse off then the lb7. What happened? I thought they had improved things (GMC that is) to make the truck have more power. Even stock has less then the lb7.
