Put a Banks bighead on about a year ago,depends how it`s ajusted. I`ve gotten about 10lbs more boost.(careful not to over boost the turbo)01 LB7

I have heard from two individuals so far who reported that they grenaded their turbo at 39-psi. So, I'd be a little careful.

Will have an article on the web site next month about the Banks BH. Aside from installation photos/instructions, there'll be boost & adjustment data when using a couple different power products (Edge/Att & Predator).

Thanks MORE POWER. I'm looking forward to that review. I've had one in the box for awhile, but haven't gotten around to installing it or my AFE Intake.

I was going to rig up a temporary boost gauge to dial it in since the Edge Attitude monitor only reads so far. After getting it dialed in I thought I'd remove the gauge and just rely on the Attitude Monitor.

I'll have a Banks 4" Monster Exhaust, AFE Intake, and a HOT Juice with Attitude along with the Banks Big Head. smile.gif What kind of boost should I shoot for? 30 PSI? :confused:

I'm in need of Suncoast at this point. Thinking about Stage IV. I just can't seem to pull the trigger due to the cost.

I think 30 is a reasonable figure to shoot for, but there are those who advocate 35. Since I'm also running nitrous (don't need every last psi), 30 is likely where I'll start. :D
