Default Finally Radix went on

I have a used kit I bought from Cory harris a long time ago to go on my LQ9 06 Silverado.I still have the kit and its not on.What happend was I bought a used 06 Escalade that had a radix on it.I have the Esc. sold to someone that didnt want the radix on and of course there was no stock parts to go back on.So i swapped everything onto my truck. This has a 3.3 pulley on it , what do you think this should have for boost? I do have longtubes and high flow cats.
Looking forward to your input,thanks

I think around 4-5 psi maybe.

I was making 7.5psi on my stock LQ9 with dynatechs with a 3.0" pulley.

Oh yeah, CONGRATS on finally putting one on!!!

I think you should put a 2.9" pulley on it. The difference is amazing compared to what you are running and it should be about 8.x psi.

Getting it to idle was a bitch, but I got a file for HPTuners that automatically calculated the idle numbers I needed to plug in. Maybe you can find something similar for your EFI live. Mine idles at 750-800 now.

Glad you finally installed that thing Gonz. It took you forever to do it though. 3.3 pulley should give you 5 psi I'd guess. I started out with a 3.0 then moved to a 2.75. The 3.0 was really just right for a driver. The 2.75 ran stronger, but brought some idle part throttle transition quirks.

I can help you get the idle correct. Have you adjusted the tune for the larger injectors yet?
