So a few days ago i bought a used kit from a member her on pt.net and its a complete kit...
here are the following specs on the kit
Radix Supercharger MP112, Intercooler with 40 LBS Fuel Injectors, Chrome larger idler pulleys with Outlaw Intake System...
Here is the for sale thread
https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...extras-502475/
parts I'm getting to make this build happen
1.Wall bro 255 Inline Fuel Pump from Magnuson (can i run with a stock fuel pump for now and maybe upgrade to the wallbro eventually when i cam the truck?)
2. NGK TR6ix colder plugs Part #3689
3. HD Tensioner From Magnuson
4. Crank pin kit.. (is there a thread about how to do this in detail i would love to read on this or if anybody has any advice/tips that would be great)
5. and off course Throttle body and Manifold Gasket
6. 160 Degree Thermostat
7. 8mm Supercharger Connection Spark Plug Wires
Might as well do a Tune up on the truck since it's almost reaching 100K
Now for the CAM I've talked to a few of my friends and few vendors what can would you guys recommend me ?
here are the current CAM'S im looking at
What pushroads and Valve springs should i go with ?
"THE TRUCKER"
STREET / STRIP / POWER
POWER RANGE 2000 TO 6200
TUNING REQUIRED
POWERFUL CHOPPY IDLE
DYNAMITE WITH A SUPERCHARGER
MOST POPULAR TRUCK CAM EVER BUILT
DUR @ .004" 278*/ 286*
DUR @ .050" 216*/ 224*
LIFT .551/.551
LSA 115*
or a Comp Cams 212/218 (imo to small but would work with my current 5.3 Eventually swapping out for a LQ4)
What cam with be ideal for my set up here is my set up
2006 Chevy Tahoe 5.3 (LM7)Flex Fuel
LPP Headers W/ No Cats and 22' Magnaflow Muffler
3" Exhaust System
Cold Air Intake
BlackBear Tuned.
3.73 Gears with stock Rear End (G80)
Stock 4L60e With 1-2 Shift Corvette Servo. Stock Torque Converter (what kind of Stall would you guys recommend me)
and before you guys say bye bye 4L60e, im gonna get it build Transmission by CHPSpeciality..
I don't want to be the quickies i just want to have a little ump underneath the hood, And the truck will only visit the track 2-3 times out of the year..

Not to knowledgeable on the cam questions but concerning pining the crank take a look at my build thread in my signature. I have a couple pics and comments from when I did mine. It's pretty straight forward, just take your time.
#3
Being that you have the 5.3 for now, I would suggest something like a 218/222 .598"/.602" 114LSA 112ICL. Later with the 6.0, you will probably want a little more duration for the cubic inch like a 224/228 114LSA camshaft.
The 218/222 114lsa will not require a converter, but will work well with the supercharger.
Feel free to give us a call, we can custom grind that (or any) camshaft for you for $389.99!

Dont use the TR6ix Plugs, just use a standard TR6. I would suggest doing the fuel pump at the same time as the blower not after. The trucker cam has proven to work well, something in that area with a 114-115 LSA. On a LQ4 the radix will run out of steam once the boost gets higher so I would keep the cam overlap in check so you don't bleed off too much boost. With your setup I would suggest a torque converter in the 2600 range since the blower will make great lowend. Just my opinions.

1) I would ditch the G80 and get a TruTrak, or Eaton posi.
2) Anything in the 2600-3000 rpm range will work for the converter. If you want to launch hard in that heavy SUV, check out a Yank SC3000.
3) Trucker cam is a torque monster in a 5.3/Radix combo. Don't worry about it being "too big", it's definately not.
4) Check out my sig.
Almost forgot something. You likely will not be able to use the injectors that come with your MP112. Be on the lookout for some 60#ers with the proper connector for your FF system. Also, you won't be able to run that Walbro inline pump. You should be able to use your stock FF pump and be okay for around 6-8 psi if I'm not mistaken.

What about fuel pump? i was told by Magnuson that i wont be able to run a wallbro 255 Pump, he said it wont fit and that i should be okay with my stock Flex Fuel pump because it's beefier... is this true ? what are my alternatives ?
Thank you

I'm planning to run 10 PSI with a 3.0 Pulley, im currently in the look out for 60 Injectors anyone one you could recommend me that plug in straight with my plugs ?

Yes, I believe the FF fuel pump will take you quite a ways. I'd run a fuel pressure gauge to make sure it doesn't fall off on the top end, if you're gonna run a 3.0 pulley.
Videos, yes I've got some. BRB.
