PowerPack® System

'99-04 6.8L SUPER-DUTY PICKUP: Banks has the formula for building V-10 muscle: the stainless-steel PowerPack adds best gains of +56 hp, +67 lb-ft torque, and 7% more miles to the tank-full. A pair of bulletproof TorqueTube manifolds uncorks major torque for big hauling and climbing jobs. Banks optional electronic OttoMind engine-calibration module maximizes power while keeping a stern check on the air-to-fuel ratio, for safe exhaust temperatures and engine longevity.

A look at the stock Y-pipe clearly shows the Banks advantage:

Banks Power PicklePowerPickle®
Banks invented a ballistic flow device to overcome the problem that occurs where tubes join within a single collector; a "dead zone" that kills exhaust-gas velocity. The patented PowerPickle fills that void and utilizes the rotational firing order to maximize exhaust extraction. This detail-exclusive to Banks-captures exhaust-gas action and turns it into massive torque.

Accolades

“We went to the source of diesel-engine performance, Gale Banks Engineering, and struck gold. Not only did it take one stop to buy and have our parts installed, but the parts worked as advertised and the results were awesome.”
