Default Banks stuff on a 00

hey guys , im just looking for opnions and your thought on this, i bought this truck from an older guy, he put on a Banks powerkit. It includes the Ottomind, exhaust, intake, quick component for the turbo ( sorry name escapes me) gauges ( boost and EGT) and a K&N air filter. What kind of power you think this really makes? any suggestions on what to do next? Always as everyone in the hunt for more power....

Thanks!

get rid of everything haha, just kidding, which intake are you talking about? like the high ram? or the air? cause i noticed you also have k&n air filter listed, I'd get rid of that asap and get an AFE or S&B and then maybe the edge J/A or comp and ditch the ottomind, or maybe a quadzilla adrenaline

Git rid of all of the banks parts except the exhaust and the banks intake elbow and get a airdog lift pump, S&B Air intake or a AFE, and a Edge Juice with Attitude tuner and it will not be the same truck it is now

Oh they prolly wont work then. You wont need gauges with edge juice with attitude. or you can get gauges and go with a edge comp box as well

The banks stuff is just fine. I have the power pack kit on my 2002 f350 4x4 and it will brake the back tires lose 1st and 2nd. the only thing that you might do is get the chip re Flash. I had the Edge Juice
Banks puts it to shame
you dont get the black wast of fuel smoke but you get more power with the banks

What else where you running with the edge? What all comes in the power pack kit? And comparing a banks on a ford to a banks on a dodge aint the same IMO

yeah a 7.3 International engine vs a 5.9L VP44 Cummins truck is a completely different ball game, like not even remotely close other than the fact that they both run off diesel fuel
