Big Hoss® Bundle

Let it flow.

Banks iQ upgradeBanks Big Hoss Bundle replaces the power-robbing factory airflow inefficiencies (including the intercooler) with free-flowing components that dramatically increase intake airflow and air density and expel exhaust with virtually no backpressure.

Colossal power with staying power.

Banks balances the improved airflow with advanced CleanTune™ Technology that adds up to 43% more horsepower and torque than stock. This is tire-shredding, scenery-blurring constant-duty power that keeps its cool without adding black smoke. Big Hoss Bundle blasts you from 0-60 mph 20% quicker than stock.

The secret to longer life.

Forget mis-matched components. Run away from tuners that can destroy your engine. Everything in the Big Hoss Bundle is engineered to work together to maximize your engine's power, efficiency and durability. Big Hoss honors your vehicle by safely living within the limits of your engine. Your Duramax will run stronger and live longer!

Watch the featured video! This short segment from ESPN's Truck Stop gives an overview of the Big Hoss Bundle, as installed on professional snowboarder Tara Dakides' truck. (She's got an '03 Duramax, so there may be some variance between this system and the one made specifically for your truck.)

All gains measured at the rear wheels. 

Test vehicle: 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500, 4WD, crew cab short bed, automatic transmission.

Horsepower and torque measured at rear wheels.

LBZ Six-Gun: Downright Bad-Ass System

2007-04-04

David D. of Orlando, Florida, installed a Six-Gun Diesel Tuner and PowerPDA Vehicle Command Center on an ’07 Chevy Silverado with a Duramax LBZ turbo-diesel

Down right bad a-- system. I have an ‘07 Chevy Silverado classic with the LBZ motor. At first I purchased the Edge Evolution. "Only one available at the time." Good product; don’t get me wrong. But then I installed the Six Gun with the in-cab Power PDA. At first I thought it felt about the same until I realized there was one more setting called SL. "Oh Hell Ya!" The next comment I would like to use to describe the feeling it gave me is too graphic and unprofessional. "Holy SSSS"—well, you know. Without any doubt, if you are thinking of the Banks System … Thought Over. The choice is easy: Banks. You guys make a kick a--product. Thank you from Sunny Florida.


Big Hoss Bundle installation

Maximum airflow and ultimate power. Watch and learn the importance of airflow, how to increase your power output safely, why you need to upgrade your intercooler, cold air intake, exhaust... (this is a Duramax LMM, other trucks may vary).
