I have 05 lly and I have a little money I thought I would do something to it but I don't know what to do. I have Banks 6- Gun (NO SPEED LOADER) and the Banks 4" monster and Banks Ram-Air. The tuner adds 102hp and the Ram-Air "says" it adds 39hp with the tuner, so that is 141hp over stock. I don't have any boost or pyro. So here is the question, Do I 1) Get a Trans go kit (if that is all I need to handle that x-tra power) or 2) Get a boost and pyro? Let me know what you think, Please.

By the way sorry if this is in the wrong spot.

Thanks

Your tranny is now the weakest link but i think you will need more then a trans go kit to be safe. Do you tow?

What level do you run the Six Gun at while towing or empty?

Empty 6 that is what banks told me for the best mpg and towing no higher than 3

Without the SpeedLoader you do not have EGT limiting safeties...I believe you have trans. and convertor slip protection without the SpeedLoader, but not EGT limit...The SpeedLoader will not let EGTs get over 1350 in levels 1-5, level 6 has no trans., convertor or EGT protection...I ran mine in level 4 w/SpeedLoader for over a year with limited towing and when the trans. was upgraded there were no signs of damage or abnormal wear...I may have got lucky, but all those safeties are nice...I would consider buying the SpeedLoader and gauges...
