Six-Gun® Diesel Tuner & PowerPDA®Truck-sport

Tuning that doesn’t kill the host vehicle.
Many tuners reduce fuel delivery as exhaust gas temps rise. But they ignore the powertrain! Banks finds the limits of the engine and powertrain, then adds mission-critical ActiveSafety safeguards to Six-Gun so it won’t exceed those limits. As a result, Six-Gun thrashes challengers, not your truck! Airflow upgrades recommended.

Proof of a higher power.
Calibrated for sport applications, Six-Gun is a performance junkie that adds +102 hp/+275 lb-ft. With its comprehensive fuel tuning and change-on-the-fly power, Six-Gun with PowerPDA rockets you from 0-60 mph 24% quicker and 154 feet ahead of stock!

The commander-in-chief: PowerPDA®.
A portable touch-screen vehicle command center, Banks PowerPDA enables easy control and customization of Six-Gun functions. It punches up Six-Gun’s best gains to +124 hp/+303 lb-ft. Adds temp-limiting safety. Displays up to 15 engine parameters. Times performance runs. Reads/defines/clears vehicle codes. Has a docking station with a built-in charger. And offers full PDA functionality.

All gains measured at the rear wheels, with recommended airflow improvements. Please note: Palm Tungsten E2 sold separately.
