What's your opinion on the sixgun...daily driver..Pressure?

I just installed a sixgun with pda, I have it set on level 3. Not looking for tons of power, just a bump in fuel economy, and the ability to monitor everything. When I tow, I turn it back to stock. What is your opinions as far as the pressure it adds and daily driving? Not looking to crack injectors, or hurt anything. Thanks in advance.....


Ps. I know how everyone feels about banks just looking for a little info about pressure and daily driving.

The six-gun is actually quite a mild pressure box and self-limiting. AS you turn up the levels you will also get a little more timing that will help your mileage more than the pressure. Level 3 is quite mild... you may find level 4 to be the best compromise. Level 4 will give no worries about harm to anything.

I agree. I however kept mine on Speedloader all the time and towed on 4. Seen the best mileage on SL, ran the best on SL, the other levels were pretty much useless unless you're towing. Good street manners, good for wet weather if you're not flooring it. Added virtually no low-end torque to my truck, only top end. The pressure is mild and shouldn't cause short term effects, long term maybe.

Yeah Rick-- forgot to mention speedloader... since I never ran without the speedloader, I think of it all as the same... no real long term effects either unless you are flooring it at every chance; but then any other power adder or even stock will cause long term harm with that abuse too...

FWIW, I had 100k on my Banks... ran mostly level 3 or 4 the whole time... no ill effects. It really seemed to me to be more like a "3 gun" than six because I thought levels 1,2 and 3 were pretty worthless anyway.

It pretty much is with the Banks. I never knocked it for what it was, except the price and power claims. The rest worked pretty well for me.

I can tell you I always got above 20mpg hand calculated. It does well when it comes to that.
