Default banks six gun problems

i have a 2004 with the banks six gun speed loader. from level one to level 6 you can feel a little bit of power difference but not a whole lot. even when i try and spool it up to spin the tires on level 6 it feels just about the same as stock. the green light is lit up, all the connections are good.and i know its not the best thing but ive seen other 6.0s that have the same tuner blow smoke when taking off at the track. i dont even get a puff. so im kinda stumped. any ideas before i go sending it bank to banks???

Do yourself a huge favor get rid of it. They burn ficms and pcms out left and right. If it was only a couple that ive seen this happen i would have considered it a conicidence but damn near every 6.0 with that 6 gun that has come in running rough, not running at all, either needed a FICM or PCM OR Both. get an SCT live wire.

Go SCT with custom tunes, even if you get the Banks working "right", it's still not up to par and costs even more.

Do yourself, and your truck/transmission a favor, and go with custom. You'll never look back.
