Talking finally got me a cold air intake

All the Radix guys that are running this setup seemed to get good results with this kit so I figured I'd go ahead and get one. First impressions are that it seems well built. I'll give my thoughts on fit and finish when complete. Besides, with LT headers and dual 3" exhaust is was long overdo, pics to follow. Note: I got the 200-168 as this kit is designed to seal to the "power dome" hood

halfway done. On the plastic venturi adapter there was a slight plastic edge I had to trim flat with an exacto blade so that it was perfectly smooth

I haven't put on the 90mm conversion yet, that will go on with the new 122 blower.

just got back from a little test drive and I'm very surprised that I felt(SOTP meter) an increase in throttle response, wow, cool beans I guess with the free flowing exhaust I was pulling noticable vacuum on the intake track

for those that want to keep blower whine to a min I would not recommend this kit as that has gone up quite a bit. If your like me and don't mind it's all good
