Claim or fact? You ever had it on a Dyno?

Claim.

Stock is 250hp/500ft lbs

Added Banks Stinger Plus system, (includes exhaust system with quick spool turbo housing, big head wastegate, tune chip, etc) Fact —- 80 hp 147 ft lbs according to Banks.

Then added Ford AIS high flow intake and blue fuel pressure spring (claim 10hp/20ft lbs) Riffraff billet impeller ( claim/fact 20hp/40ft lbs), PHP Hydra 16 position tune (claim/fact 140hp/280 ft lbs)

Just adding stock 250 + 140+20+10 since the Banks tune chip module removed

So yes it’s a claim and yes it’s fast. I do lift for the 1-2 shift as I want to keep the stock trans from exploding. I only tow with the 80 hp tow tune.
And of course that’s all at the crank.

I think you’re being very optimistic by adding several individual mods and think you will get the advertised increased power of each one for a unrealistic total output.
I’ve never heard of a stock Ford transmission holding up to 400/800. At least not for very long.

That's why I asked. I did the banks PowerPack on my 98 12V Cummins at the 100K mark. It did add power but NOT what they CLAIM. I did run the hell out of it as it was fun and toasted the trans. I was planning on doing a DDT built trans anyway. It was so cooked it barely made it up on the trailer to take in for the rebuild!

Yeah the stupid Banks chip does not control the trans, they add another stand alone module called transcommand. It was either junk or not working when I got the truck because it was the worst shifting sloppy trans I’ve felt in a long time.
It would have blown up a long time ago had I not ditched the Banks stinger chip and went with the PHP Hydra which totally changed the trans for the better.
