They even have an intercooled kit for the new F-150's that looks alot like a Radix, but they keep telling us an intercooler isnt needed and wont gain anything. I think someone is in thier back pocket. 
I heard the new Whipple kits will come with larger injectors & no craptronics. I also heard they are in the process of comming up with a top mount kit similar to Radix for Chevrolet. That will have an intercooler built in. They already have the top mount kit available for the marine engines.

Was I happy with it out of the box - HELL NO!
Am I happy with it now - HELL YES! new injectors, no Whipple craptronics
Can it be better - OF COURSE!
I am waiting for an metalman to finish fabbing up an intercooler and I will more than likely be getting one of them. I'm seeing 9 lbs of boost right now and it runs great. Bryan from pcmforless.com tuned it.

It's like anything power related, there is no such thing as enough! My turbo 5psi bored the hell outta me within 1 month so I started to crank it up. Snap, crackle, pop goes the Hemi. Fun while it lasted tho....
Loved the boost adjustability of the turbo vs a supercharger but the ease of adjustment also makes it easier to make mistakes. I can tell ya this first hand :-(
Like they say, ditch the craptronics and extra injectors for bigger stockers and good tune. Extra injectors suck IMHO.
