90mm tb, 3" pulley, headers, cam and a nice triple disk tq converter would gain you a 100hp easily and probably drop close to a second and a half off your time.

your a pulley away from a big power increase.pulley it down to get 9#'s and be on your way , no need to drop all that coin on a turbo set up yet ... and the right cam will help allot with the high end speeds. mine made a big difference.
What cam do you have? I was wanting to run the vhp trucker cam but seen another on his site that is made for superchargers.

It's the tripleX 222/228/.551.551 lsa115, power range 2400-6500. DOn't know if that would be to big or not.

Yeah I know I can do all the extra supporting mods for the radix and alot more power out of it. I was thinking before I spent all that money if it would be better spent on going turbo cause that would capable of more power where as the radix I'll be limited right?

A 112 radix can make more than enough power to severely reduce the longevity of your engine, putting down 500+rwhp in a 2wd isnt easy.

If you really want a turbo then do it, sounds like your mind is already made up...

Yeah your right about putting the power down to the ground in a 2wd. If I can get 500+ rwhp out of the radix then I would be happy.

Thanks for the help!
