Review on πŸ’ͺ Banks Big Head Actuator Kit - Model 24396 for Enhanced Performance and Durability by Ryan Yap

Revainrating 5 out of 5

worth its weight. for headers and parts

my LB7 is worth 270 thousand bought used the only thing on it is an AFE air intake. At full throttle smoke came out of the exhaust. It was anemia! I couldn't pass anyone without a LONG open space or road! I bought the Big Head as a first step in building up Banks to a 6 gun setup on a budget. The smoke went away immediately and it seemed more bouncy and also improved MPG (alcohol. No more smoke). Thought I set it up correctly, even called the banks with some concerns which they said were unfounded. Then I found a programmer and idash 1.8 for sale elsewhere. Installed and found max boost is 13.5! I adjusted the wastegate lever and am now getting 21 PSI! This is because the wastegate spring must be under load to keep the wastegate closed during boosting. I have found that if you see the wastegate bracket flex a little when the gate is fully CLOSED then it is properly adjusted! I love this controller and my truck looks like a rocket now!
