I have the Banks Power pack system and the 5 Star tuning on a 3 valve V-10, the Banks was on my motorhome when I bought it but I installed the 5 Star tuning, cant give you before and after results on the Banks but I can haul a$$ up a large hill while towing 6500 pounds, even semis cant keep up and even passed some diesel motorhomes and no it was not floored, it just has great low end torque, but the headers/cold air intake can really growl when going up large hills.
My total weight with stacker trailer is 26,400 pounds and I went over the Rockies on I-70 in Colorada with ease, had no problem staying around 45 mph.
Some will say save your money cause it will not do much with power increase on the newer 3 valve V-10's and I say they are wrong, what it gives you is more torque in the lower/mid range RPM's around 3000 to 4500 RPM range where its needed the most in the hills.
