Radix or Whipple?

I know i'm bringing this post back from the dead, but originally the guy asked about a radix.
A used radix is alot closer to the price of a used whipple than a tvs. Seems like when I searched for mp112's most people needed a lot of meth to control high iat's and make it anywhere near 500rwhp, and no one seemed to notice this guy bromaguire is on a mustang dyno with 24inch chrome wheels and a 4l80e. That's like over 100hp loss from billet 17's and a 4l65e, and he has shorty headers, and a stock cam. All he did was add an intercooler.
I'm about to pick up a whipple for dirt cheap and it seems to me like a whipple with a little bit of money is going to surpass a mp112. Obviously not a tvs which has effeciency in the same range as a twin screw, and is a better kit to start with. The cost is justified, but I think for the money with a little bit of ingenuity the whipple could be a nice setup.
If you've got the money and just want to bolt on the kit and make alot of power then I would say go with a new tvs blower. I think I remember kenny duttweiler with a 408 and a tvs 2300 making 950hp, and some ridiculous torque at like 2500rpms. The zr1's are already over 700rwhp on those blowers.
I wanted to see this thread keep going with updates on the guys with the side mount superchargers. There is a company dragon race that had a side mount whipple for corvettes and I seem to remember 500rwhp at 5.5 psi. The whipple is not a bad blower just a bad setup from the factory I guess.
Anyway just my .02. And I should be able to let you know sometime soon about an LS2 and a whipple on a c3.
