On the banks kit, I took a hard look at the installation manual and it says nothing about the timing as was mentioned before. From what I understand, you will have to turn up the fuel delivery a little (1/4 turn) after the install and you should be golden. An EGT will be necessary to make sure you are within spec. Only thing I was worried about is how such a high compression engine will hold up due to the increased pressure. Considering that the piston rings would be pushed harder, I would not be looking forward to blow by and an engine rebuild any time soon. The truck was babied, really a true daily, just want to have a little more power when doing some hill climbs and whatnot. I am still considering putting the turbo however. "The FLU Farm" stated that Banks made a comment about how a 6.2 is good for about 200,000. That seems a little low to me, since I have seen them regularly surpass 200K if maintained well. Only thing is that none of them had a BANKS on it, so I cannot say how well they really will hold up (my biggest concern). For those of you that have one installed, has your engine been hurting in any way?
