Im going to say STS since it will take a second to spool and help with traction. The radix will only be good for a smoke show on the street. The radix kit is the most "complete" by far.

It's a matter of preference, and arguable either way. I'd go with the Radix for a daily driver, most comments about them are positive, and very few people who get one are disappointed. I hope to be one of those happy people real soon.

Well said, I also think that as well, but I like the turbo(livernois), but as far as complete, Radix..

I'm pretty happy with my truck and the Radix. Power on demand (plenty of it), reliability, excellent tech and part support.
