Banks Power: From Big Block Dreams to Unexpected Speed Records

Gearheads, listen up! Buckle up for a story of innovation and hot rodding ingenuity. Banks Power aimed to build a monster of a land-speed record truck: a twin-turbocharged, all-wheel drive Sierra with a massive 502 cubic inch engine. But fate (and GM) had other plans.

Enter the underdog: a humble S-15 mini-truck. Using clever engineering, Banks “supercharged” the engine naturally, cramming cold air through a custom intake to squeeze out more power. The result?
