The Leader in Diesel Performance
Banks Power is developing a high-performance rear differential cover for Ford 12-bolt rear axles. This innovative cover features Ram-Air scoops, internal oil raceways, and heat-absorbing technology to improve cooling and reduce heat-related wear. Stay tuned for the official release date and additional product details.
The 1978 Woods-Banks Dekon Monza, powered by a twin-turbocharged 302 cubic-inch small-block engine, produced an impressive 955 horsepower. This groundbreaking engine, designed by Gale Banks, featured an air-to-water intercooler and a unique draw-through carburetor setup. The Monza’s immense power pushed the limits of its chassis and components.
Chris Nelson, owner of Energetic Motorsports, takes his Toyota Hilux to the extreme. Even at a bone-chilling 13,000 feet, he’s monitoring its performance with an iDash DataMonster. The data reveals the harsh reality of high-altitude driving, with horsepower plummeting due to decreased air density. As a true enthusiast, Chris is already brainstorming turbocharging solutions to reclaim lost power.
