banks IQ w/ six gun
 

simple put tell me more...

im looking at getting a new programmer for my 06 and right now ive been looking at the bullydog GT tuner and the SCT extreme touch (a bit expensive for me) but was reading in diesel power and diesel world about banks IQ w/ sixgun. i dont know anyone that is running this system or even a 6gun and wanted to see if i could get some help comparing the 3 (bullydog GT SCT extreme touch and banks IQ w/ 6gun)

as a side note i am looking for a medium power gain (50-80 hp) and better fuel mileage

Everyone with a 6.0 seems to praise the sct tuners with cutom tunes...

Dont waste your money. SCT with custom tunes is the only way to go. Just do some quick searching on here and some of the powerstroke forums and you will see why. SCT is the only real programmer. Banks and Bullydog are just "computer foolers"

Don't do the Bully or Six Gun!

I got my SCT X3 and tunes from him and they are the Bomb.
Eric will write custom tunes for exactly what you want.

:c:

thanks for the feed back guy im gunna get the sct in the next couple days.

Good choice. Make sure to let us know what you think. :pca1:

I think I'm gunna go withe the sct w livewire because I've heard about problems with the bluetooth on the touch screen not connecting or staying connected...

Also I'm getting rdy to do an egr delte for my other 6.0 and am gunna do an sct in it for pullin cattle around my ranch so my question is will I need a custom tune to get rid of the codes it will through or will the sct w livewire handle it all on its own (sct is very new to me)

yea you will have to talk to Eric about that, im pretty sure he has a towing tune that has an "EGR delete" included to get rid of the codes that pop up

thanks alot man...yall have been a great help

Getting an SCT without the custom tunes is a waste. When you order it from Eric you can get three custom tunes for free, though if you get an extreme tune it's an $80 upgrade. (do it anyways).

All of his custom tunes turn the EGR valve function off, but as long as it's still on the truck (the EGR valve) it can still open on it's own. The only permanent solution is to take it off the truck.

Definitely get the custom tunes though.

The stock SCT isn't a total waste but the Custom Tunes run much much better.

Remember he has a D-max. Banks is a GREAT way to go. I have the 6-gun now and LOVE it. Yes, it's not a programmer, but it is it's own computer. It doesn't touch the factory ECM yet gives you an amazing amount of Tranny safe power without killing your engine.
The SCT for the 6.0's, sure. They need more help to get the numbers up. When you say, "Goto the Powerstroke Forums" that should tell you it may not be the best thing for the D-max
If you want custom tunes, go with EFI LIVE. Get you a DSP5 switch and 5 custom tunes. It can be whatever you want, when you want it.

OOPS, my fault guys, trying to learn the new site. My appologies. Thought he was talking about an 06, DMAX. LOL. My Badd. Carry on. . .

From what I understand it's no different than running an Edge or Banks or any other product at that point.

Obviously it's not a total waste because you can always put custom tunes on it, without having to sell it and buy a different setup.

I got a chance to play with the IQ down at the PRI show this year. After talking with the tech that built it, I will have one, but it will be to run my other programmers, nitrous, water. It is going to be able to control everything, and watch a movie to:td: dont really need that last one.

It can control that stuff... when they come out with it. As of right now they're not offering any nitrous setups, or water setups. It was my understanding it's only going to work with their stuff too.

It seems too little too late. If they can actually do the custom tuning with it, then it's a huge step in the right direction. It's fancy looking, that's for sure. A few of the computer geeks on other sites were saying the OS was junk. I dont know myself though, just passing the word along.

Even the stock SCT tunes help alot with the transmission shifting. Mine would Flare shift while running the Edeg Juice.
