For those of you who would like to have a big increase in power, Banks now makes induction kits for late model (24 valve) Cummins 8.3 engines. I have been in contact with them and reviewed the data. The gains are truly remarkable (well beyond the gains created by buying a new coach to get the 8.7 engine).
If you review that 0-60 performance and how much better they pull on grades, you will be impressed. The increases are just where the engines need it, pulling and passing on grades!
I went to Banks Power on the web and contacted them. They sent me a proposal and a brochure. The cost is just under $4000. for the best package for a 350 ISC.
They claim that the warranty is not invalidated. If I decide to go forward, I'm going to need that promise in writing and I plan to talk to Cummins.
Now to get it into the budget --- not working is hell!!! :-))))
They install the kits in their facility in So Cal and have a dealer network. If you cannot get to the factory, I would talk too one of their salespeople and see who has done several of them in your area.
