a 50 shot on top of a radix shouldn't hurt a thing, only act more as a very nice intercooler.

Good point about the old school setups using carbs dumping tons of fuel into them. I have a forged internal 348ci in the car. Right now it is at 506 rwhp with just the blower. I'd like to see 650 rwhp when I'm finally done with the nitrous. Just a personal goal for the car (and a 9-second timeslip)

I have been thinking about spraying for quite sometime but just had some trouble with the truck fund lately. I have heard some horror stories about wet kits on radix's things like blowing the bottom of the intake off or blowing the whole supercharger off the top of the motor. I don't know if any of the stories are true. Alot of people seem to be putting 50 shot to them but the stories I have heard come from bigger shots say 100 and above. I think there are some flow problems in the bottom of the intake and maybe some puddling going on. Here's some pics of the interals on a radix what do you guy's think?

I don't really think it will do any wrong to the blower. Lightning owners use NOS with thier blowers and make great hp and sick tq. Just make sure your bottom end can handle it.
