never have one so therefore I can't offer any numbers.

look at my signature for what I gained with a paxton on an 07 6.0 3/4 ton sub. Stock it would have dyno'd around 275. This kit should be available for sale in the VERY near future. My truck was the first, they're bringing in the second shortly to actually make up instructions off of.

It really depends what you want. Do you want top end or low mid range power? If you want top end, get the procharger. If you want low mid power, then get the Radix.

On a stock motor with just the Radix, 340-350 rwhp. It is possible to get 500 rwhp with cam exhaust, etc.

the paxton pullied to come in early with a restrictor plate to limit max boost up top won't come in as low as a radix........but definetely comes in quicker than a procharger..

9 pounds of boost, fuel, tune, all else stock

I tow an 8-10K lb 24 ft enclosed trailer with one of the two vettes in it and a ton of tools, cabinets, tires an crap. If you plan on towing more, I'm impressed.

centrifugal thats pullied to come in lower, and capped off to keep it from overboosting up top.

These guys make the best supercharger kits in the vette community, bar-none. I talked them into trucks and I can't say a whole heck of alot about them because they're still in talks with the powers that be here on supporting tuner status etc.

Depending on your "bolt ons" you will be over 400 @ the wheels. Your current "tune" will need to be redone....preferably on a dyno, not the mail.

Centrifugal......

In your description of what you are looking for you have spelled out "Magna Charger".
