dear customer:
your new banks powerpack
®
is a unique combination of air intake and
exhaust components designed to make the most of your engine’s power
potential. by removing intake and exhaust restrictions, providing cooler
intake air, and tuning the exhaust to create a scavenging effect, your
engine can produce more power at a higher level of efficiency. if your
driving habits remain the same, your fuel mileage should go up, and you
can run on the same octane fuel you are accustomed to using.
if you have any questions concerning the installation of the banks
powerpack
®
kit, please call gale banks engineering at (626) 969-9600
between 8:00 am & 5:00 pm (pT) and ask for the service department.
thank you.
