I'm running the radix 2.75" pulley on my 10.5:1 CR LQ9.

I had Joe at JAG do my original shift kit and servo install on my SS. I was very happy with the service he performed. If you are going to SA for a nelson tune, you might as well have JAG do the trans work.

Dont show a one sided story if you post something show ALL the facts one way or the other

Well I went back and reread and you were right. You do not however have to be a **** about it. The comparison wasn't unfair, they actually said it was great for a mail order tune. I don't remember bashing Nelson, but you are awful quick to bash Brian. I'm happy with the tune I have now and I am gonna use him for my radix tune. I am sure I won't have any problems. Sorry my post wasn't fair enough for you, and I'm sure you always tell both sides of the story.

The trans with a good shift kit should have no problem handling the power of a radix'd 6.0L.
I have been thinking about dropping down to a 2.75 pully when i put my heads and cam on. I am planning on getting a 2 bar map sensor when I do it. What size injectors will I need to go with? I have the 42# that came with the kit. What adverse effects is the increased speed the blower is spinning going to have on its lifespan?

negligable. Eatons rotor bearings are the best in the biz

you're going to want to go with an injector that is around 50-57# at the pressure that your truck runs at underwide open. the 42's will run lean on an 04' and newer once you go under the 3.0" pulley.
