ISB PICKUP: By adding Banks Quick-Turbo with BigHead wastegate actuator and a higher calibration OttoMind Tuner to the Stinger platform, Stinger-Plus frees up the turbine for optimal boost, responsiveness and performance. Experience the added G-force of +109 hp and +259 lb-ft torque, with 10% better fuel economy to boot.
Test vehicle: 1999 quad-cab 4-wheel drive pickup 215-hp rated • automatic transmission.
*Vehicles with higher rated engines: while the percentage gains will be less, the final power and performance output will be equivalent.

Monster® ExhaustBanks Monster exhaust outflows stock and the competition. The streamlined exhaust pipe and 4" tailpipe are formed of stainless, heavy-wall tubing with constant-diameter bends to slash backpressure. Huge 5" polished-stainless steel tailpipe tip sports a rolled edge. Double-walled design with 1/2" air gap keeps heat from tarnishing exterior mirror finish. Adjustable clamp for positioning on tailpipe. |

Banks Ram-Air® filterBanks Ram-Air filter is a lifetime, high-flow air-cleaner element that decreases intake restriction and sends more cool, dense ram-air into your engine. Even wet or dirty, Banks Ram-Air filters outperform conventional ones, because the multi-layer design traps moisture, dust and debris on the oiled, outer surface, allowing air to move through with ease. Includes a service kit for use every 30-50,000 miles. |

OttoMind® Diesel TunerOttoMind calibrates fuel delivery and injection timing to maintain proper air-fuel ratio. What’s more, OttoMind protects diesel durability with AutoRate®, Banks’ exclusive electronic powertrain management system. AutoRate automatically adjusts engine power output to a safe level for prevailing conditions, provides torque converter clutch lockup protection (safeguards the torque converter during initial engagement of the clutch) and provides exhaust gas temperature limiting (EGT limiting with Git-Kit® requires optional thermocouple). |
|
Quick-Turbo® AssemblyBanks developed the Quick-Turbo in conjunction with the Holset turbocharger and Cummins Engine companies, to eliminate sluggishness "out of the hole" and produce strong acceleration. Quick-Turbo produces massive torque right from idle, achieves a higher peak faster, maintains more boost through the powerband, and doesn't over-boost. Banks' exclusive BigHead® wastegate actuator prevents "wastegate blow-open" by keeping the valve seated at higher pressures, increasing mid-range torque and top-end power. |
|
DynaFact® GaugesBanks’ exclusive DynaFact electronic gauges offer precision that can’t be matched by mechanical gauges. The pyrometer provides exhaust-gas temperature (EGT) measurements that are accurate within ±15° F at maximum operating temperatures. The pyro's spring-loaded, jeweled movement is resistant to vibration and sports a lit, easy-to-read 0-1500° F face. Banks' 0-50 psi boost gauge monitors power and turbo performance. Includes 2-gauge mounting panel. Top-mount and/or pillar-mount options available. |
