That's my point with either the Whipple or STS I would need a real fuel system and tune before I called it complete

This is also a good point. I am a big fan of turbos. If the Livernois was California Smog Friendly (and I didnt live in poverty) there would be no question for me. But turbos may not be for everyone. They are more complicated then superchargers and the run A LOT hotter. Turbos do require some special care in driving.

I installed the Radix on my Tahoe after having a Powerdyne. Nuff said. I have had 0 problems with the Radix. The only issue I have is that the Radix has an addicting whine when pressure is applied to the gas pedal, this has caused me to lose gas mileage

I like the whipple... But Im sure the radix is just as good..

But price wise????? I would go with the whipple...

The warrenty is good and everything, but if you read the fine print, it has something in there about if this is used for racing.. and other stuff.... its void!!

So I mean theres something to think about!!

I have a whipple and it pissed me off almost daily. I totally agree with .T.

**** WHIPPLE!!!!! although, stock with a hypertech tune(lol) i made 222rwph. With a whipple and 6lbs of boost i made 372rwhp. Now I'm definately over 400rwhp on 10lbs of boost(the smallest pulley whipple makes)

Can't speak for radix or sts or any other.
