Blownchevy... can you please explain to all of us how a radix with some shorty headers, "ram air", better wires and a tune gets you into the 12s?

Im not talkn ****, I just know what people are running.

And with that airbag setup ... how are you hookin up?

My guess is your not hookn up and your not even scraping high 12s. Bring the timeslips cause that will shutup everyone, but untill then you truck DOES NOT DO 12s!
There is no way... and trust me man no one is jealious of your chopped up truck that has probly been taken apart and put back together who knowz how well, not to mention all the different suspension setups you have had.... you can keep that

I know im impressed by the radix... but im not stupid....

Ya, well see I had some mechanical problems because I was their 2nd Radix installed on an 03+ and the 03+ have some different air issues. I have since installed a new program and have had zero problems. I still saw a 165hp upgrade to the wheels.

Well, I have had 2 suspensions. I had bad luck with the first one and then I took it to Master Image Customs and had the whole suspension reworked. As I said in 2 different posts, I DO have traction issues, and as I also said, if it wasnt for the bags, my truck would be in the 12 second range. My truck is made for me to have fun with and to showcase the wheels the company I work for builds. I didnt build it to go to the track with and come in here and e-thug people in forums with time-slips. All of the things I have said with the exception of my dyno numbers have been hypothetical. If I wanted a track truck I woulda just built up the suspension for traction, not to lay frame.

WIth what you got listed in your sig ... that ain't 12's. Just cause your buds does 13.2 and yours put out more power don't mean nothing. That's called 'DYNO Racing which is a whole different sport. We don't much do it in the truck sections, it's mostly for the car guys who don't have the ***** to run it on the track cause something might break.

It took me LOTS of hard work and ironing kinks out with a lot more better stuff than your 'top of the lin' Gibson stuff. FYI .. Gibson headers suck, the exhaust sounds good, but it's still constrictvie for a blown application.

I'm with Chingy .. that ain't no 12 second truck, and whoever told you that needs to see this:

again ... I took mine off my 02 and put it on my 03 with no new parts or tuning. Worked fine ...

Then don't come in here saying your truck runs 12s when it's never seen a track
This thread is about running 10s...something a Radix will never do.
I don't know what you mean about "e-thug", but all I asked for was for proof, which you have none, then you get all defensive. Give me a break.

One of Brian's favorite sayings is "1000 Radix owners and one problem." He says this to most everyone who has a problem. He has never posted his dyno sheets (as he promised he would in November of last year), and I got tired of asking him.

The only dyno sheet I have ever seen that shows even close to a 100+ RWHP gain from a Radix is one from AS&M. After my install, Ben from AS&M promised me 3 or 4 times that he would dyno their White RCSB Radix demo truck from Chapman Chevrolet on the same dyno where I ran my truck, but he never did. Pretty interesting.

It gets even more interesting once you know that Magnuson has 'recalibrated' their Mustang dyno to 'Dynojet numbers'. They said that Mustang dynos are conservative, and people didn't like seeing low numbers. Working with electronic calibration in the Navy, I find this intriguing. How do you calibrate one piece of equipment to another's standards? I don't think you can, actually.

Lots of interesting stuff.

And your problem was fixed too!

If I am not mistaken, I did post them, and you saw them....dont make me find the thread! What I find interesting is you still complain, and still have it on your truck.
