The Leader in Diesel Performance
Banks offers premium billet fuel and DEF caps for 4th Gen RAM 6.7L trucks (2013-2018 and 2019-2024). These caps, made from 6061 anodized billet aluminum, feature magnetic attachment, twist-to-lock design, and O-ring seals to prevent debris from entering the fuel and DEF systems.
Gale Banks set multiple land speed records with a naturally aspirated GMC S-15 Syclone in 1989, achieving a top speed of 210 MPH. He ingeniously “supercharged” the intake air using ice water intercooling, overcoming GM’s restrictions on turbocharging and all-wheel drive.
The Banks Monster-Ram is compared to the Black Market Performance (BMP) open grid plenum for RAM 6.7L engines. Testing reveals the BMP kit restricts airflow, resulting in horsepower loss, while the Monster-Ram significantly improves airflow and air mass, boosting performance.
The new Derringer High Output for 2020-2023 Duramax 6.6L increases power by +117 hp and +225 lb-ft, thanks to new sensor inputs, engine calibration, and the iDash Pro. It features 6 adjustable power levels, AutoRate for safe power delivery, and TransCommand for transmission protection.
Paul Cordell shares photos of his boat, which features a Banks Marine Racing 454 engine, showcasing Banks’ transition from superchargers to turbochargers in the 1970s. Banks’ turbocharged engines offered improved horsepower, fuel efficiency, and durability, leading to racing dominance.
Article Excerpt: Owners of 1994-2002 RAM 5.9L trucks can improve airflow with the Banks Ram-Air Cold-Air Intake System. It replaces the restrictive stock intake with a large conical filter and enclosed housing, drawing in cooler, denser air for increased power and fuel economy.
Gale Banks debunks the myth that upgrading a RAM’s intake elbow is pointless because the head limits airflow. He clarifies the difference between CFM (volume) and MAF (mass), explaining how the Monster-Ram increases air density and power, while also preventing grid heater bolt failure.
Jay Bourgeois, despite having a tuned 2018 Silverado HD, installed a Banks Ram-Air Intake, PedalMonster, and iDash. He praises the easy installation and significant performance improvements, particularly with the PedalMonster, which outperformed his previous JMS PedalMAX.
Jorge Lopez, a GM tech, installed the Banks Monster-Ram inlet and Boost Tube Upgrade on his 2024 GMC Sierra, resulting in improved acceleration, eliminated compressor surge, and a 4 mpg fuel economy increase. He also tows regularly and is adding more Banks cooling products.
