We’ve not had our hands on that system yet, but knowing Banks I’d feel comfortable saying it’ll be just fine on our tune.

What about the Power Banks boost tubes? will those be fine too? Hopefully you guys can test both systems. I would imagine they will free up a little more power.

Does the raised rev limiter on the manual trucks have any adverse effect on the transmission or drivetrain? I know it was limited in the first place because of “crankshaft hammering”. Not really sure what that means but raising the limiter seems a bit concerning since it was limited from factory.

How much time do you spend above 5000RPM?

If you spend considerable time at high RPM, yes, it's inevitably going to generate more 'wear' relative to lower RPM operation.

Brief and occasional use, that is situational, isn't going to have a meaningful impact, in our opinion. If you wish to retain the OE limiter, just let us know; we're happy to oblige. It's not mandatory.

Sorry I guess my question was a bit vague. Is there anything that y’all have found in testing tied to the “crankshaft hammering” or other issues specifically in the manual transmission Tacomas that are caused by reving the engine past factory limit? Also would changing this limiter pop up during a warranty claim?

Tuning and warranty usually dont mixed well..jmho

I wish I wasn't too scared of losing my warranty by doing this. Maybe in 3 years..

Not trying to convince you but I have a 2015 BMW X5 with a piggyback tune installed since day one and after 10 oil changes (oil changes are once a year intervals) and I have had zero issues with the dealerships. Now if there was an issue with my engine and the dealerships couldn’t pinpoint the issue then they can easily blame my tune as the problem and deny warranty. But… dealerships don’t really care because any warranty work they do are being reimbursed by the manufacturer as long as they can provide support that it is the manufacturer’s defective issue. Just some food for thought.
