Funny thing is I was at the autoparts store the other day and saw those on a rack for like 70 bucks a pop! I think synthetic oil would free up more power rather than restrict it, lol!!

If you're looking for the most HP on the dyno or an all out track truck, look to a turbo or centrifical blower. If you want to get the most power in the rpm range you'll be doing most of your driving in, you can't beat a Radix. It's there immediately even with slight pressure from your right foot. It makes your truck run like it has 500+ cubic inches under the hood, yet still retains good street manners and fuel eco. The magnuson boys did a good job with this one.

nice thanks guys. i was kinda leaning towards a turbo, bc i think it looks cooler when u pop the hood, but i dont think i really have the skill to put one together. i can weld but i still dont full understand how its supposed to be put together, but thats the least of my worries. im trying to get rid of my car and im planning on buying a s10 z and putting the f.i. on it. if i take it mudding, the mud wont screw with the turbo, or intercooler will it?
