Default Thinking about upgrading to the mp122

Hi I'm thinking about upgrading to the mp122 but do not know if it would be the right move?
Looking to see if anyone that has the mp122 on there truck now that can tell me Performance Differences. Horsepower and Torque and anything else would be helpful.

Everything else is stock

What pulley are you running right now? I guess my question really is how far are you driving the 112? What are you wanting to achieve? You have only a few mods to your engine...what about cam? Headers?

lol, everyone uses the Corvette as the standard. Yesterday at the track the announcer must have said "Corvette killer" and the like over 100 times. It's a testament to their performance.

Look at what all the "Corvette Killers" are running with the Radix setups. You have a ton that you need to do before worrying about swapping compressors.

Besides headers, cam, methanol injection, more timing (tuning), injector upgrade, fuel pump mods, built transmission, etc the list goes on and on.

You have a bit of reading to do, enjoy!

I would set a goal. If you need 600 hp then you are going to need a 122 and spin it pretty hard + full bolt ons. You can also get there with your 112 and a 100 shot. You can also get there with a turbo. If you need 500 hp the 112 can do it, but I wouldn't ask for a lot more.
