There are a few of us that run a Radix and nitrous. As far as mods we have pretty much pushed our setups to the limits but stock internals except for cam, pushrods and valve springs. I run a 75 wet-shot and so far that has been the bar

Why? Are you going to install a blower?

yea, i want one bad. my buddy has one on his 4.8 and it runs good, surprised the hell out of me. i want the power at the pedal, u know instead mine is the button and bottle. my good friend at advance auto parts can get me the whole system brand new for 5,300 greenbacks. not to bad he said original cost was like 6200 or 6300, i see like 5700 to 5800 on the e net. not bad tho. u think i have a ok setup to go ahead and nabb up a maggy trever? thanks

Yes, absolutely. I think your cam will work fine with it. You may be able to find a complete kit cheaper than $5300....look to our sponsors------------>
