So did they win? or When we last left our heroes...
It's been a while (again), but here's my latest entry. I've got about four more in the can, only it's just that they're only half done each. Since the last time I wrote I've been to pulled over, went to visit a guy we're selling engines to, went on vacation, went to Indy for the big race, and met with GM a few times. Although those "adventures" are something to write about... I bet your wondering how we did with the truck this weekend?
Posted by John Espino on June 20, 2006Customer Q&A (with Peter Treydte, Banks' Director of Technical Communication)
QUESTION #1:
I have installed a Banks Monster Exhaust and am considering a "Six-Gun and Speed-Loader." My primary application is towing a 15,000 lb. trailer (GCWR 23,000) with an '06 F-350 SRW 6.0L Auto 3.73 CC SB 4X4. I tow at 60 to 65 mph (3.73/18 in tires) which translates to 1700 and 1750 rpm. All of your charts start at 2000 rpm which is 74 mph in my truck, which it never sees towing. Consequently, my interest is in torque and power out put at 1700 to 1750 rpm.1. What is the torque and Hp increase that I will see from the Monster exhaust and at what RPM, especially 1750 rpm?
2. What is the torque and Hp with the six gun and speed loader at 1750 rpm.
3. A product that I would like to see you offer for my truck is a way to manually select 4th gear. My choices are 1,2,3,or 5th.
The higher rpm max out put numbers don't do much good for the vast majority of trailer tower's like me who don't tow at 75 or 80 mph.
