H2 Radix install finally complete
Well, we made it through! Success after about 21 hours of install time.
The outcome of the install is perfect performance as anticipated and advertised. When you drop the hammer you can tell now!
I am very happy that I decided to install the Radix early (approx 2000 miles on the odometer). Had I done it later I would have been way more frustrated what with everything being dirty and greasy and generally nasty. The frustration level was definitely high in my garage for the last two days. My friend and I were convinced several times that Magnuson and GM conspired to screw us
The reality is the GM made some changes to the platform (H2) that the installation guide hasn't notated (example... some things come apart differently or simply will not fit in the location designated by magnacharger). These circumstances make it seriously challenging.
I fully believe they should make another effort to enhance and correct the installation guide for the 2004 H2. I have full confidence that a pickup truck or regular SUV platform would not have the same experience. The H2 truly is unlike anything else.
Still, the install was a success even though drawn out. I can definitely tell its working as promised. I am very happy with the final result. The truck is completely docile at normal low throttle angles. There is no whine whatsoever on my truck. The only cue that something is up is that it shifts a little firmer. However, once you lay into the throttle it starts to whine
and then roar
It is the perfect sleeper.
I can't wait to do the e-fan conversion next.

Please e-mail me with the install issues you had. Brian@magnusonproducts.com As far as I know there are no major changes other than fuel system on the H2 from 03-04.
Thanks, B
