Sounds good, id like to see pics. My plan is to relocate the battery to where the diesel mounts the second battery and run my intake over there.

So you guys say radix will be faster for just a stock engine.What if i do a stall,cam and a set of gears then where will the ati stand compared to the radix.Thanks

For instance
A Radix on stock engine with 8-9 pounds of boost would kill a Procharger making 10-11 without a Stall, injectors, and custom tune. (Ive been told)
If you are planning on a big build then the Procharger (go with a D1SC upgrade) will have the potential to make alot more boost.
I went with the Vortech b/c Ive heard that they make a better system. I will have spent quite a bit more than the cost of a Radix before I reach comparable performance levels. However, like I said, the Radix maxes out at 9 1/2 pounds of boost on the 5.3. Maybe 7 on a 6.0. Im eventually going for 15# on a 6.0. Thats after I blow up the 5.3

I Would Think That The Ati Would Run Around The Radix On The Top End.i Don't Plan On No More Than 425 Hp To The Wheels Cause That Will Be Hard To Do On A 4.8 But The Guy I Have Talked Says That He Will Do The Ati Install,tuning And All That For Cheaper Than The Radix Kit Costs.tuesday I'm Going To See Him.of Course He Will Say Ati,radix Shops Will Say Radix.like I Sad I Am Only Doing A Cam, Stall, Gears.the Bottom Line Is That The Radix Will Be Better For That Set Up. Right
