Question Banks Big Hoss vs Quadzilla XZT+

Any one have any comparison input + or- on these 2 items? I'm looking to buy one. The Banks is kind of pricey vs the XZT+. I don't hear much about Banks products on this forum. Is it because of there prices??
Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks

If you're looking to buy, then the XZT+ definitely. If you already had the big hoss, which I believe is a fuel only box, it would be a good stack with the XZT+. The XZT+ will give you much more aggressive fueling down low and better throttle response (and a little better mileage if ran in the timing only setting).

Yeah the Hoss is a fuel only box. I did run the PowerPack Ottiomind and I also feel the XZT+ is a better box. More adjustability (there is no adj on the Hoss) and different downloadable tunes are available for the XZT+. There are several guys here on DTR who have stacked the fuel only Ottomind with the XZT+ with good results. But if I had to pick only one........it would be the XZT+.

I had the Big Hoss & hated it. I couldn't tell when it was on or off the truck. I actually had them send me another box because I didn't think it was working. I beta tested the XZT+ for Quadzilla & I loved that box, this is why I now have the Adrenaline in my signature. Best on the market hands down.

No doubt agree...XZT+. With Quads continued support for the 2nd gens I don't see why anyone would consider other brands.

"I actually had them send me another box because I didn't think it was working." Seems that I've read this before about Banks products. All their money seems to be spent on Marketing/promotion instead of R&D to improve their product and make it a strong competitor in this market place. JMO.
Thanks to this site and all the good information...if not I'd probably be replacing the Banks stuff now, know there are better products on the market.

That's the Xzillaraider not the XZT+. I've had the XZT+ on my truck since nearly the beginning of the beta test with a stock high mileage clutch without issue. But if it's a concern, upgrade with something like the SB Con O or OFE.

XZT+ all the way! I love mine. I got mine cheap and it has probably paid for itself with the MPG gains. I've had it almost a year now I believe.
