Hubby ordered a new 08 F250 Super Duty Diesel (twin turbo) Crew Cab lariat. Should arrive next week. He’s been talking and talking about “banks power system” that he saw advertised somewhere, so I googled it and found this. Sent in an application for him 😃 :bigthumb: Wonder if they’ll contact him? 🙂 [http://ww1.bankspower.com/testers](http://ww1.bankspower.com/testers) > **Be Part of the Banks Research Team!** > Banks Needs Vehicles for Testing New Products > How would you like to play a crucial role in Banks product development?

didn’t extreme 4x4 have a hummer with the banks kit on it. I think it made well over 1000 ft. lbs. and almost 800hp. that would be a nice daily driver. :bigthumb: ---

As defined by Wikipedia: > [@Wiki](#): > > Beta testing comes after alpha testing. Versions of the software, known as beta versions, are released to a limited audience outside of the company. The software is released to groups of people so that further testing can ensure the product has few faults or bugs. Sometimes, beta versions are made available to the open public to increase the feedback field to a maximal number of future users. These days it’s been extended to most industries with any sort of product release cycle. In fact, I could be wrong and it coud have been in use long before software… but I’m pretty sure that’s where it originated. -TJ ---

Commonly used in technology (software releases, etc…) Alphia is initial testing where the product will be released to just a couple of people to test it, usually for free. Then comes the beta release, which would be something like 25% of your customer base and somewhat of a discount, or maybe even full price on the product. After that is all said in done, the product usually goes into full production/release. ---
