Default HeLp!!

just when i had made up my mind completely about buying the radix kit, and i was about to order it when i came across a crate Ls6. so heres my questions, any advice would be appreciated.

plan A: 6.0 with Radix 4L80e 3200 stall total cost (without trany or stall) about $5000

Plan B: Ls6 crate 4l80e 3200 stall, totale cost (no tranny or stall again)
about $4000

any suggestions? im thinkin 6L with radix, but its more costly and time consuming.

Well just remember with that 2wd traction is gonna be a BIG problem with that radix setup. The radix makes a whole lotta torque down low

if you want something that's going to be tame on the street, and very drivable, but a rocket when you want to get on it, the 6.0 radix combo can't be beat. ask blownchevy, his truck has exactly what you're looking to do and it's fast as hell
