i posted b4 i read....i just installed my shift kit and servos and everything else today...radix going in tomorrow....so we will see...truck has 5200 miles on it...

I'd definatly do a cam with it, and i'm not looking at staying low on boost, I'm gonna try and push it a lil bit, i'm sure the 4L60 will end up popping soon enough, is the turbo a lil less punishing on the tranny? or does it not matter, i dont' wanna go to the 80, i just think they suck up too much power. input welcomed..........
Honestly I wouldnt go with either of those get a livernoise kit and blow all of em away
have you watched that vid theyve got of a 3 ton escky running 12's!!

Plus I have a feeling its a little better quality

Just my .02

Plenty of happy customers with the Radix and the STS. Livernoise kit is a bit pricey.

if you're looking for simple and good track times go with the radix. if you like to work on things and like big dyno numbers go with the STS.

I'm not sure how many they are producing or the price, but I just picked up a used CMotorsports kit. The quality is very high and it has the ability to make a TON of power. I would consider this kit also.

My setup is in my sig. I'll post results once I have it installed.
