Ok fellas finally some good news to report. 
I got her running about 12:00 PM, and It is running great. I havent run into any more issues other than burning up a plug wire ( just picked up some 1200 degree sleeves to fix that ) and for some reason when the truck is idleing the BOV is open. If I loosen the fitting it closes, but with it tight it stays open. It is hitting between 10 and 11# of boost and I can hear the BOV go off even at light load. Dont know what that is all about.
It is very different than the Radix. I kind of miss the straight off of the pedal low end power that it offered, but when the turbo gets spooled it pulls really hard. I know it is laying down more power than the Radix did, and it feels alot faster in the mid to upper ranges. I will try to get a buddy of mine to shoot some vids for me and I will get some more pics up soon. With any luck all of the " minor set backs "
I have gone through with this thing are over and the fun is here to stay! Dyno and track times to follow!

I have to get a camera man to come along for the ride first.
I dropped it off with a buddy of mine before work today to have it dynoed. I wasnt able to be there for the dyno. He said it felt like it started missing in the upper RPM's and he got out of it at 4700 RPM. The hp was still climbing on the chart and it layed down 447rwhp 539rwtq. It does look like something is happening at around 3900 RPM on the graph. Hopefully it isnt a fouled plug cause I really dont feel like pulling all that crap off of the passengers side again. I need to go ahead and get HPtuners so I can start doing some logs to see what it might be.
I am also seriously considering swaping out the hot parts for the trick setup, since you can still change the plugs with it on there and you dont have to loose an A/C line with their down pipe. It gets hot down here and it is already starting to be that way. I talked to Livernois about getting some of their new hot parts, but they wont make me a set untill they sell the seven kits they have on the shelf and start another production run. Im just really tired of spending money on this thing right now!
