great looking truck!
whipple doesnt make a kit for you, and i dont believe magnacharger has released one yet either. im sure you can make a procharger fit, but id wait.
my milage stayed about the same after my radix install. as long as you drive it nice, its not too bad.

Nice truck man, very sharp.. But as others have said, you are worried about MPG with that lift and those tires?

He already said he was only looking at which blower might be easier on the gas during daily driving guys so cut him some slack......sheesh.
I lost 2mpgs when I put the radix on my old truck(Silverado SS).

Well the benefit to a Radix style is that you wont need to gear it as high (numerically)... this fact will make it the best choice for MPG and availible torque at cruise rpm. Maybe just go to 4.30's or so.. Because at cruise, engine friction and pumping losses are a HUGE portion of the fuel quanity burned. so keeping the cruise RPM's low will affect your MPG more than any supercharger.. (for example.. it can take more than 100hp to just spin your engine at 6000rpms in neutral)
But either way.. you've obviously made your choice of saying "screw MPG" with all of your other modifications..
