    Two, I bet the stock brakes aren't THAT good.
    I can say that the ones on my MINI...are. You hit'em hard your heads goona hit the dash and you won't lock up the tires, I've tried.

    Also, they race stock minis and MINIs all the time. There are local clubs here in SoCal I could join if I wanted to, I just have no desire to race.
    If...

    When in doubt, check Youtube :D

    Thanks that's the one I was looking for. I was doing a job and one of the guys helping me has a cousin that put the Banks Six Gun in his Chevy Duramax 4X4 which made a huge improvement in performance. He took me for a ride and set the dial on 1 (which is stock) and it ran good 5 telephone poles and we were at 45mph he then turned around set the dial to 6 (race only) and we were at 70mph and my head was planted in the seats headrest the whole time. Stock the truck has just over 500ftlb tourque put it on 6 it has over 800ftlb all at the turn of a dial and on the fly if needed.

    Thanks again
    Dave

    I was neck to neck at a stop light with an F-350 Turbo Diesel a few days ago and my lane was ending in about 200 feet. I looked over and there was a 60+yr old gentleman driving the truck and he had, what looked to be, his wife with him. I thought, PIECE OF CAKE! I drive a 140hp 150lb Olds Alero that is actually pretty quick off the start. Holy crap, that dude in the F350 destroyed me! I never saw it coming. That is one fast truck I tell ya.

    Ford bought Cummins after Dodge was putting them in there trucks and they were taking the deisel truck market. It is the way of business to own something the other uses as an atempt to not be left totaly behind. Dodge, I think ownes a part of Detroit Diesel but you will not see one of those in there trucks, they are just getting extra money from it, just as Ford is doing. Dodge also ownes/owned Lamborgini, now that is another story, but Ford is accually using an International/ Navastar built engine the same ones used in school buses. Ford and Int/Nav. got together to come up with the Power Stroke engine. As with alot of things we buy just has the others name on it. The Cummins has been the brute in my Co. and has performed flawlessly.


    Not even close...

    Ford never owned Cummins, at one time Ford investments owned 10% of the common stock in Cummins. Ford never had any more control than any other stock holders.

    Banks is overpriced, you are only paying for the name....

    If you want to make some real power with your diesel you need to look somewhere else. If you are in to fords do a search on 7.3 ford forums.

    Chevy diesels try http://dieselplace.com/forum/

    Cummins diesels try http://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/

    I meant, Ford bought into Cummins as Dodge did w/Detroit.

    Sorry about that

    No prob...

    I hear this one a lot... and being a Cummins guy it just kind of grates me the wrong way...

    BTW- One of the businesses I own is a Diesel performance shop.

    I'll keep you in mind in the near future (if that's ok) I may be looking to improve my Cummins.
