Full On Banks Story (Truckin' Magazine)

Pretty cool write up (Starts on page 102) and has some great photos. Only I don't get the "Stock" Dyno run of 398 Hp ONLY with an HX 40 Truckin didn't touch much on the power factor just Speed #'s.

THEN you go to page 144 --> on and the whole break down begins! Power #'s what worked and didn't , fabrication ontop of fabrication. Great read and when you hold a paper copy and check this thing out you soon begin to realize a boatload of r&d went into the SW project.
