Default radix ?

some one told me that a radix did not make good H.P after 10+ psi. is this true i would like to run 13+ on a forged 6.0 me and GMGen3 are putting together! he says procharger and his bro has one. but i would like to around 600 rwhp. can i get that out of a radix.

the motor is a 9.1, with dish pistions. thanks for the help!

Magnacharger now has a larger displacement blower that would easily be capable of those numbers. I think the smaller radix is good for about 10psi on most motors before it become too ineficient.

The MP112 seems to be limited to somewhere between 500-550 rwhp depending on the setup. Then it spins so fast that it just becomes a heat pump. You'd MIGHT see 10 psi on a 6.0 if you could kill belt slip completely, maybe with a custom 8 rib pulley setup.

I think that 12-13 psi would be possible on a smaller cube motor.

I made 11lbs with my 4.8 liter/radix combo. That was with a 3.25" pulley. It could have made more but the CR was too high and I would have has to drop down to a 2.75" pully....but i can be done.

Procharger would be better IMO, plus I havent seen anyone with the 122 yet in a truck and the results I have seen so far on the few 122s out there arent that stellar.
