I could try but I am running 10.8:1 CR so I'm not quite ready to run high boost on it yet lol. I am having fun trying out this motor/blower combo and seeing how it plays out and try to learn from it. I think since the Radix is kinda spent after 10psi on a regular 5.3L why not run more compression, more timing and less boost and make the same power but have better driveability than low compression and high boost and allow the Radix to work in its efficiency range. I know its not ideal for huge power but its just a different way of doing things and I like trying stuff out.

What do you plan on doing about your converter situation? Different stall speed, different stall all together?

I talked to PI today and they are making me a new one. Still a 10.5" multi-plate 5-disc but should be about a 3000 stall with 500rwhp which is what I plan to have. Hopefully that will cure most of my problems

Oh I dont doubt that would be a good combo. A RADIX IMO cant be beat for lower boost levels and great daily driveability. If all I wanted was 8#s or so I would get one but I know that wouldnt satisfy me

8 pounds on a 418 might be hard, maybe a 2.5" pulley. lol
