You are correct! I am fishing for information. I know some people have pushed the envelope. I just figured the most power/tq would provide the most towing power and then it dawned on me.. The most might shift the powerband up and take me out of the towing I want.. Really leaning toward the cam and Radix setup..

When you feel the instant throttle response and torque I doubt you'll be worried about dyno numbers anyway.
I think the main reason most guys don't do heads is because you can pretty much max out the pulleys on the 112 radix with a cammed/full bolt on/6.0L. The heads free up a little extra power and drop the boost a tad but, I don't think the extra money involved is worth it to most. Just slap a set of valve springs on your stockers(good investment even with stock cam)

I had a nice NA cam installed prior to the radix. Its a comp 218 218 .563 114 +2. I was surprised how well it worked with the Radix. No head work, no meth, just longtubes and a 2.75" pulley made ~515rwtq and ~465rwhp. I realized after the dyno that the crank pulley was slipping in the higher rpms, so I know there was more power than the dyno showed.
I had the 3rd dyno run start earlier and stretch out to 6200 rpms, but don't have a copy of it. It made a little more TQ before 4000 but the dyno flatlined at the 465rwhp mark when the pulley would slip.
