Default Got some money to spend... What mods??

I have about $3500.00 to spend. I cant decide what i want. I was thinking about finding a used radix but i wanted to know if 50,000 miles on my 2001 RCSB 5.3 is too many miles to be running a supercharger? I am also wanting to 4/6 my truck on 20's w/ rollpan and all the other goodies. I wouldnt mind bags but its a daily driver and from what i hear, there is alot of maintenence involved in bags because of the risk of valves and lines breaking. I also found a bagged s10 shaved and all for 3000.00 but i think i want to stick with 1 truck and 1 insurance payment even though it would be a fun little toy. lol. let me know what yall think and where you would spend the money. thanks!!

Depends on what you want (speed or style) and how quickly you can save another 3500.

Id go with the Radix as well. Its also easier to install than anything else that would give any reasonalbe amount of power i.e. headers and cam. A radix would make that thing into a totally different vehicle in 8 hours or less
