Car sounds sick though a blower will always sound better than a turbo IMO.

with how much boost? The mag was on about 9-10psi.

that black vette sounded like a remote control car that i used to play with when i was young, i agree with whoever wants to sell their truck for the vette, it would be amazing, i cant decide if i like the sound of the radix or turbo better, im a fan of the blowoff actually but that black vette looked like the bat mobile and yes, it was great to see the vette put that stang to shame

IS that radix going to be able to push 20psi of boost on a 402

Just saying I wasnt impressed with the times for being a stroker and blown in a small light car with a very low drag coefficient. The 112 IMO runs out of breathe on a stroker the 122 is proving to be a different story a better comparison would be the 122 against a similarly matched turbo that would be apples to apples.


So the car sounded good huh. Thats what the thread was started about anyway right

Key word in that statement was that is all THAT blower has.

I do agree, why do so many threads have to turn into a radix debate/defence? It is what it is, for what that car had for motor/blower I feel it ran as it should. When the bigger stuff starts hitting the market, there will be some new numbers to set goals too.

I dunno about that. If I had the chance, I'd run a 14-71 on a 350.

Slow turning gigantic rotors.


That black vette sounds sweet.

pedal response, the smaller it is the more you'll have(within reason, the island would be your target), this doesn't just apply to turbo's.
