ive been looking at the radix w/ intercooler and it seems a lot easier to install.. I get to keep the lts and ory, and it comes with a programmer and injectors, but it costs a bit more than the turbo but not much. they say base run on the 5.3 was 264 hp and they got 392whp after they installed the s/c.

i like turbochargers more. but superchargers can be fun too. just doin my reseach b4 i make any choices.

 

Remember the days when a fast vehicle ran 13's, maybe high 12's

 

I just don't think the radix will make the power the trick kit will, is this true? I want to be around 500whp

 

the mp112 will be close... the mp122 will though!

 

What is the mp112 and mp122?

 

they are the magnacharger models, bill has the 112 and is making 600+ but he has a lot of supporting mods to get there, the 122 is a larger blower that makes more power!

 

throw a cam with torque converter bro!

 

Just another opinion: I do LOVE my turbo and am WAY pleased with the performance when I nail it. Haven't been beat yet although I look forward to it...just wish there was something suitable to run other than Mustangs, f-bodys and standard vettes. Been lurking around for a Porche turbo or a Viper to kill in 4WD but nothing yet. Not talking about the track, there are a multitude of cars faster than me. I do believe though that for part throttle drivability with big block torque that a TVS or even a maggie would be more fun at the rpm band that most folks drive in. You do have the exhaust already and the mag of any kind is a complete kit. For ultimate WOT performance I would put my money on the turbo, yes even an sts...I chose it for a reason. My engine compartment is virtually undisturbed and my exhaust is stock and emissions legal. For all out performance and speed, your not gonna beat a front mount... end of story. However, for low end drivability like a big block, a pd charger is going to be hard to beat and it's still damn fast. The STS is kinda in between. If the TVS would've been available a year ago it would've been a no brainer for me. Still though, a 1.69 on 20's at full weight, I was real happy with.

 

Ya, like a 75 shot of N2O!

A 112 Magie displaces 112 cubic inches of air per revolution and a 122 displaces 122ci.

 

so the 112 will make the power I need. Now I need new tires then a 4l80.after this is done I'm getting the maggie and hopefully everything will go well. I'm guessing 285/70/17 for the tires?
