Sorry, but for an everyday driver, instant boost that makes your truck jump at the tap of the throttle will get anoying. I would want it to come on a bit smooth at light pedal responses.

according to the Dynosim it seems to be a decent cam for the radix

peak TQ by 2500 rpm
peak HP by 6000rpm extending to 6500rpm

that sounds great to me. what would be a reasonable guesstimate on hp/tq numbers with my setup in this cold weather. should be pushing 9-10psi with a hefty meth mixture.

I used 8 lbs of boost, HP & TQ looked healthy. 600/600 ish, then subtract 5% program error and 20% driveline loss.

I just noticed that you're an 04', are you going to change injectors while you're there?

The standard Radix injectors are likely going to be too small with that cam. I also forgot that you have a 5.3L, you should be able to see 10psi with that cam and a 2.8" pulley.
