You're going to be impressed at the difference in how it drives around even at part throttle. The Radix and a 4.8L are an excellent match. I agree that you should drive it for a bit on the stock programming from Magnacharger. Often people change too much at once and if a problem arises they don't know what caused the problem due to too many variables. Before adding more power you should put a shift kit in the trans. I'm guessing you'll make close to 350RWHP and considerably more torque. Joe and Brian will take care of you well.
