I made 9psi on a 2.75" pulley on my 6L with a cam that was not good for FI. After adding the LT's and true duals I am down to 7psi. PSI is not a good measure of power anyway. I made the exact same power when I went from 9psi to 7psi with the long tubes. So a truck with stock exhaust and 9 pounds of boost isn't going to automatically make more power than the same truck at 7 pounds of boost and a free flowing exhaust. It's the overall setup that matters.

The Radix will make 10+psi on a 6L but I don't think it would be making much more power than at 8psi with more timing. Get a bigger compressor (MP122HH) or the Procharger, or a turbo. The turbo wouldn't require any more tuning than the Radix.

With the proper cam(its not going to be obnoxious like you are wanting a good FI cam general has little or no overlap the sound you want is caused by cams with alot of overlap) and the STS kit 8altng has you could make your mark on just boost no need for nitrous.

the motor is a 9.1, with dish pistions. thanks for the help!
I think it will be easier to make 600rwhp with an upgraded ProCharger type setup. It can be done with the MP112 or close, but not on a budget, and everything has to be just perfect. 500-550rwhp seems to be an easier target for the average MP112 buildup. I would also take into consideration what kind of power delivery your interested in; The Procharger and MP112 will have very different powerbands. Lot's to consider, the least of which is your tolerance for one setup over another.

The Vinci Trucker cam that I have for sale (shameless plug goes here) has done well for me, and it loped pretty good.
