Did you actually talk to them? Wow, back in April when I was shopping I called them and they would not answer the phone. I emailed and faxed them too... no reply.
So, the KB intercooled truck kit is now available? I don't see it available on their website (it shows "Coming Soon")... or on their pricelist.

I haven't heard good things about KB's customer support. If and when you have a problem, this becomes very important. That alone would make be stray from them.

TRUCK / SUV KITS
The 5.3, 6.0, 6.2 “TS” kits use the exact same kit as the Corvette except for the inlet system in front of the throttle body and some minor hardware changes.

I never said I seen it.....I know you have a radix and obviously that is what you favor, the radix is a great kit. However he asked about both so I am just trying to provide the information that is available. As far as the intercooler that has been coming soon for the previous truck kits- I doubt it will ever appear now that they have a new setup, this is why I made my own....

Now back to the question, The radix kit is tried and proven and is a great kit. According to KB's web site the New Kit they have will work on a truck, now as far as the details of it I cannot answer. I do know on the Vette forums they have hit like 850hp with it on a 402 so it has some potential....
