The Leader in Diesel Performance
Banks Power introduced the Sidewinder turbo kit for Ford 6.9/7.3L diesel engines in 1983. This kit significantly improved performance and fuel economy, making it a popular choice for truck owners. Even after 39 years, the Sidewinder kit remains available and continues to be a reliable and effective upgrade for these classic trucks.
Perry, a 2018 Chevy Duramax L5P owner, was frustrated with his dealership’s service experience. To improve his truck’s performance and fuel economy, he installed a Banks Ram-Air intake, PedalMonster, and iDash SuperGauge. These upgrades enhanced the truck’s throttle response, drivability, and fuel efficiency, providing a more enjoyable driving experience. Perry plans to continue modifying his truck, using the iDash to monitor and optimize its performance.
