: Stacking a Banks six gun with what?
rybob1973 04-08-2008, 03:15 PM I have a Banks six gun with speed loader. I'm pretty happy with it. Does anyone know what would be a good choice to stack with it or if its possible? Alot of people on here seem to like the PPE +2 Accelerator or whatever.
ChevyDieselLLY 04-08-2008, 04:13 PM yes i know you can stack it. know one guy that runs the HPtuner with it
rybob1973 04-08-2008, 08:50 PM i tries initially to stack it with my Predator but that did not work. Right now i use the Predator only for adjusting the top speed limiter and checking codes. One time I tried setting the Predator at 85. Then I fired up the truck and it sounded fine till I revved it up a littleand bam clank spit sputter and it died. I about s%@t myself. So I took that programming out and everything seemed fine and no problems since.

Alot of people on here seem to like the PPE +2 Accelerator or whatever.You could probably use the six gun for guages and all the other stuff and use PPE for power, It wont do any good to try to use them both for power the PPE gives you all the power you can get with a single cp3 and a stock turbo.
ChevyDieselLLY 04-09-2008, 09:15 AM if you want you can PM crashnburn. thats the guy who said he is running banks with HPtuners. but like lwatson said PPE will make more power then a stock truck can handle anyways. and you can find some good deals on guages from vendors on here.

That's exactly what I'm doing. PPE for power and Banks for monitoring. Working well so far.
ChevyDieselLLY 04-09-2008, 09:53 AM not to come off the wrong way or anything but isnt that an expensive way to go about doing guages?

It is, but I started out with the Banks and then when I needed more power after the tranny build, went with the PPE.
ChevyDieselLLY 04-09-2008, 12:42 PM got it. guess you already have it might as well use it.

you should think about installing a built trans first. the banks alone will smoke a stock trans.

tonydduramax 04-09-2008, 09:15 PM the banks also gives you early warning for trans slip, egt's and more. audiable i like this for the early warning
TandC 04-12-2008, 04:08 PM Banks will stack with just about anything when Programed correctly..
Robby Avery 04-13-2008, 10:41 PM Sorry to burst all you fella's bubbles but I tried stacking the banks six gun with the predator it was fun at first but the predator shot my pcm and luckily the dealership warranted it. Sorry but I don't like predator anymore and will never buy another predator again! I took the banks off and uninstalled the predator and went with EFI Live best thing I've ever done no regrets here

How did the predator shoot your pcm?
jpowel29 04-15-2008, 10:12 PM Banks 6-Gun w/ PDA and EFI Live play well together (leaving the 6-Gun on level 1 and using the PDA for monitoring). You will likely need to disconnect the Banks while downloading your stock tune and uploading an EFI Live tune.
A built trans is always a smart decision. I started off with the 6-gun on Speed Loader and then moved up with a big EFI Live tune. The Banks started picking up trans slippage almost immediately. I never limped it but it would only have been a matter of time.

There's nothing wrong with Diablo's quality.
