:lala: :lala: :lala:

 

I think...



...it doesnt work when I click on it.

 

I don't know what is with the link, it works about 50% of the time. This is what is on the page.

In 1982 Banks Engineering saw Great potential in GMs new F-car and immediately started assembling a limited production (20 ) run of Twin Turbo GTs A Ford nine-inch rear and Doug Nash five-speed backed three different engine options 500hp. 600hp. 700hp

 

..........COOL!!!!!!

 

three q's:
-where can i get one

-how much

-and, i'll take it

 

I think it was a thing of the past, they dont do it anymore =(

 

I have the Banks Book that the kit was in it looked like it was pretty cool for everything that it came with ....it produced some impressive HP
and no they haven't made that kit in a long time ...I think they changed the kit and toned it down quite a bit and sold that for a while longer ..I'll have to dig it up agin

 

that's only 2 questions


Sweet

 

It does give a good starting point for someone wanting to put there own system together. Just a couple issues. It looks like they just used the standard log manifolds for xhaust, and no intercooler. For any kind of real power the intercooler is a must. the logs are good for ease of install and cheaper cost, but not really the hot ticket performance wise either.

 

You have to remember that this was 20 years ago and was cutting edge. I have the brochure and it was pretty trick.

That Banks exhaust when it came out was the hot ticket also. Stainless from the manifolds back, $495 complete I think. Sounded great also.

Its too bad he got out of the performance car side. He was ahead of everybody back then. Imagine what he would have done had he stayed with it :hail:

 

I've built the Z28tt with the GB manifolds 3 years ago. It's been great so far, with the factory L98. We'll see how it goes with the new engine

 

would love to see pics of that

The following pics are Rev1 before the intercooler:





Full Rollcage in progress right now

that looks great

Do you know how much power it is putting out?

 

I pestered my banks rep about the manifolds and he said they were crack prone and are no longer produced. I asked also if they would consider reproducing an updated version he said, "why bother? there is no demand."
