Alan Nichols and his father upgraded their Chevy Silverados (a 2021 and a 2023) with several Banks Power products, including the Ram-Air Intake System, Boost Tube Upgrade Kit, and Monster-Ram Turbo Inlet Elbow, noting significant improvements in cooling. Alan also installed a PedalMonster, which eliminated turbo lag and greatly enhanced towing performance, making it effortless to maintain speed even on steep grades. Additionally, he replaced his Edge CTS3 with the Banks iDash SuperGauge for its superior performance and ease of use, allowing him to monitor various engine parameters, including boost tube temperatures.

The installation took 2.5 hours and was straightforward. Tony highlighted that the Banks pan’s design allows for a complete oil drain, unlike the stock pan which leaves about 0.6 quarts of old oil. He also noted the pan’s good fitment, clean draining process, improved heat dissipation, and the benefit of two additional quarts of oil capacity.
