uh huh. I was just impressed that you sent it to me, some companies are extreme ********* about this stuff, and I certainly didn't expect the great price.

Those of us who try and break the **** are those who show how strong the product is. BTW, am I over spinning my blower at 6k?

True, for about 1 second once a week. Or lately, about once a month when I get to drive the truck before it ******* breaks again!!! Only thing left is my engine and your blower. Which one goes first??

The Radix guys are very lucky to have BlownChevy around... He really goes the extra mile to make sure the Radix guys are taken care of.

that will lower the compression a chunk so you would definately be able to up the boost a couple of pounds i have heard up to 12 pounds no problem stock bottom end and such with very little problems with the 6.0 liter heads on a 5.3 you would prolly be able to get that if not higher
