Has anyone installed any Banks options on a mechanical 5.9 Cummins? What if any options work?

The Banks were on my engine when we aquired it. The split intake get more air to the rear (front) cylinder which is sorta out of the way on the stock manifold. I also that the bigger waste gated turbo which is set to open at 30lbs of boost. By themselves not so much gained but needed if you want to go further. A #11 fuel plate would also help.

A 94 should have the 6 speed transmission. If you have the 545 4 speed you are about maxed out.
