Chevy power
 
Does your Chevy pickup or small block powered car lack the get up and go that it used to have? Do want to reach the limit before the end of the merge ramp? Are you tired of being embarased in front of your girlfriend every time a McLaren beats you in a race? I have the answer, for little more than the cost of a brand new truck you can have this!

Clickey, scroll down!

Ahh yes Banks. Quite possibly one of the biggest ripoffs there is. Incon makes 1200hp turbo kits for the LS series motors for about half that price. Better yet, buy a crate LS2 with 405hp ($6000) or an LS7 with 515hp ($10000) and slap a Vortec S-trim blower on either, you'll be pushing close to 1000hp for less than $20000 without some aftermarket brand motor to worry about.

Not to say that engine sucks or anything, but the price is just...um...without explanation.

Is this real? Can it really be real?

Thirty eight grand. More than an average American makes in a year. For a small block?

A small block that can put out 1600hp? That does not have longevity written on it.

They talk a lot about the power, the performance, the equipment, the turbos, the everything but any warranty.

:confused:

The waranty requires a 1 inch hole on the intake side to controll air flow:D

Be a lot cheaper to mount a jet engine on the back, and then you wouldn't have to worry about traction and drivetrain wear...

Shadow248 01-20-2005 03:12 PM

I see that you were joking. Your absolutely right...it's ridiculous, i agree with that. Overkill in every way. I simply added an informative component to the thread.

I don't see it. The outfit is just like LPE Engineering, only more expensive.

He holds a few Bonneville speed records and you are basically paying for a big name.
In any case I think Banks makes a damn good engine.
