Just got done installing the 6 Gun & speedloader. After getting the Tap & drill bit, it all went rather well. I figure it took me a little over an hour if not two, & most of that time was on R&R the fenderwell as well as being careful in the EGT probe install. Just took my sweet time trying to get it all correct. Fired it up & the LED read green, although it was hard to tell the light was on at all, Banks should make the light brighter. Took it out on the road, turned it up to 6, & in a cloud of black smoke there I went:eek: , nice pull. Don't have many places to really open it up over here, found a back stretch of road, shifted down to 1st & hit it, seemed to be shifting all over the place, but it sure did haul AAAA.... Howz everyone else with the Banks?

Couldn't break the tires loose without holding the brake. Can't tell much of a difference in the bottom end. When I'm in Drive, at a dead stop & punch it, until the Allison kicks lower gear & the Turbo comes on, hard to see a difference, but when that Gear kicks down & the Turbo spools :eek: straight forward pull :D & a cloud of black smoke :ro) !!
