i dont think they are back in production yet
they quit making them a while back to modify some parts or something
i would look into sts for a turbo solution or magnacharger for a radix on the supercharger end of things

If i was going turbo id go livernios over sts anyday. Like stated above though i dont think they are producing them right now. Also, their kits are not complete with injectors, fuel pumps, tuning, etc.
I would really consider a magncharger. I as well as tons of others here have them and im sure all will agree you cant get more for your money in a bolt on kit. You will not regret it and best thing is that it will install in the better part of a day with basic tools, and all parts are included.

the stock silverado has 295bhp. my goal is 500. i think thats a good combo for street drivability and the ***** to beat smaller cars at the street light. and beat those damn lightnings and srt10 rams

Alright, my truck has a 6.0 345hp motor. With headers, exhaust, and magnacharger, i put down 425 at the wheels with a safe tune. With the cam im putting in i should easily hit 450+ at the wheels. Thats well over 500 at the crank.

On a 5.3 motor, the radix should feed it all it can handle. If you plan on a larger motor (6.0L+) then the radix has its limits.
I think the Livernois (Detroit Speed Works) turbo kit is pretty sweet. I'd say its by for the most complete turbo "kit" available for our trucks as it includes everything (including injectors) except tuning. With a turbo setup, you'll have some room to expand as the kit is adaptable to different sized turbos. You just have to be careful and get the correct sized turbo for your needs.
