Hey Blown, not tryin to start anything but what are your times on your truck...just curious. Gotta be faster than mine currently though...370 is still about 1-2wks away. My gutter cleaner was a little too much for my motor too. BTW my STS has been super reliable...my motor just didn't get the memo. Damn these freakin turbos, over 20mpg and mid 7's in the 1/8

BC, What does that figure to in terms of a 1/4 mi? I sure it's decent on a RCSB. Even more impressive on a EC.

C mon guys, not bashing on the radix truck, it has made me a believer, is def one of or the best bang for the buck, but it was camn'd geared stalled 5.3.Plus had traction bars. Let the sts truck have that, then compare it, granted they make up for some of the displacement, but...

It appears the Radix got out of the hole better but the STS was bringing it on top end?
Look at the 330's and then the 1/8 mph?
