Should I get a Radix before it's too late

I just took it easy during daily driving and hit the track occasionally. Shift kit, servo, and yank 2800 gave me 1.6x 60 foot times.

When u consider all the work it takes to get there NA, let alone the extra cost now, the Radix is an EASY decision! Simple bolt on unit, get the underdrive crank pulley, and maybe up ur cam if u wanna get fancy. As for the 4L65, as long as u stay south of 500rwhp and do shift kit/servos ull be fine - of course it all depends how bad u abuse it!
If u go 4L80 ull be sacrificing rwhp...R/

Not to sound like a newbie, but how do I find out what trans is in my truck? I bought it to tow with, not to race it. 2001 Silverado 2500 series 6.0l. I bought it brand new but have no clue where the window sticker is! Not a HD model either.

I've been completely blown away that just recently Radix have been popping up in the FS forum for right around 3g's some even a little under. The torque curve on a 6.0 just blows my mind. Also, people have said the radix is no good up top, but from the graph's I've seen they seem to pull fine to 6000 
Anyways, the reason it will be too late is because I've just spent about 3g's on stuff to stay NA...once I put the ported heads on compression will be well too high for FI. The heads/cam should put me at 400rwhp or so, but it seems the radix will yield more power for cheaper. It's not to late for me to jump ship and sell all this stuff I have in favor of the blower.
Thoughts?
