Why im thinking the Radix is what I need.
Well to be honest with the board the main reason I didnt want to go with the Radix is because it seems like everyone that buys a supercharger on this forum has one, I just wanted something different. What I like about the Radix though is its totally complete kit, can be installed in one day, comes with tuning so I dont have to worry about trailering the truck to have it tuned,builds boost instantly, and Nelson Performance has tuned alot of them so I can trust a mail order tune for it in the future. But I realized, after reading several old post from people that just bought them, that its what I want. Brian, (Blownchevy) has also contributed alot of time to the Magnacharger product answering questions. But I have some now. Does the larger heat exchanger come standard now? Also can someone PM me some place were they sell them at good prices. I will also have a blower cam in there but I wont install that until after the blower is on. Looking at the VHP 045 cam or some custom grinds from Combination Motorsports. Realistically 500 rwhp is what I want, but its not what I need for a everyday vechile. Ill be happy with 450

You will be very happy with the Radix. The kit is amazing. Its complete and easy to install. 450 RWHP will be basically maxing out that blower, which is going to produce alot of heat because it will be over spinning the blower. They are very reliable for everyday driving. But I have said this before, if you are looking to make alot of power in the future then I would go ahead and get the ATI D1 kit. Either way you will be happier, and the magnacharger kit will probably save you a few $$$. Just my .02

I havn't seen it ON A TRUCK yet. Well I should say a truck that doesn't already put out 400rwhp before the blower. :p

again the radix is a bad **** kit but i am going with two tone on here not to knock the magnuson product cause like you said it is a superior product but the d1 with the ATI is going to be able to provide more boost (not saying that your goal is unrealistic with the magnuson) but the ATI is more of a top end blower and i have heard of those getting up to 15 pounds of boost with a different pulley but like bryan said with you cam and your tune you prolly should be able to reach the 450 i would think

And you really need to think about how long a motor is going to last daily driven on pump gas with 15psi.
I am not knocking the other power adders at all, infact I invite you to do your research and ask the questions. I just don't think 15 psi on pump gas is going to last long.
