Default Ordered Radix...what else do I need

I broke down and ordered myself a radix for my new truck today. Its going on a 06 Vortec Max Crew Cab 2wd.

I also ordered a 3.0 pulley, and a set of the metco billet idler pulleys.

What else would I need for the install or what else would you recomend getting at the same time?

A new transmission.

How about a cam to compliment the Radix?

Well im hoping the 4l70e will hold up for a little while until I can recoup some money for an 80e swap.

Cam would be nice but im trying to keep driveability here and dont want it to be to noticable. Once I do the tranny ill get a stall of course too.

A bigger credit card.

There are plenty of cam's that can complement your blower and give you great driveability. If you got 800 to 1200 to throw at it, a cam and converter would do ya good.

I recomend installing the Radix with the stock pulley untill you are sure its running correctlly. Just make sure you read the directions thoroughly a couple of time's although the install is really pretty simple. The only thing that doe'snt come with the kit is coolant if you got the one that come's with the intercooler. Good luck and enjoy.

Yea, once the tranny is ready to go in a cam will be next for sure. Or possibly a fully built 408.

Just wondering if I need anything for the intall that will happen next week.

EVERYBODY loves the GT2-3 by lingfelter no noticeable lope from any of the clips I have heard and you will only need 55buck LS6 springs to run it.

I will install with the stock pulley for the beginning until I can get dyno time in the following week or two. I will get a custom dyno tune then and put the new pulley on.

I was thinking NGK TR6 plus, how about wires?

What should the plugs be gapped too?

They come pre gapped at .035 which is good just double check them to be sure.
