I have the Radix on my 5.3 now but I can't help but wonder what could be done with it and a 6.0.

If you had a 6.0 on the garage floor now what parts would you put on/in it to make a bad *** but streetable supercharged engine? Bore? Stroke? Cam? Heads?

I'm not talkin dream engine here. I'm talking a good, strong, and reasonably priced engine with a Radix making ..... 550 hp/torque??

Just put a cam and valve springs with pushrods in. With the Radix and a good stall you're there. That's all you'll really need to meet your power goals.

Is the 550 at the wheels or the crank?

I've been done a while now, but been too damn busy to work out all my bugs in tuning and such. My 5.3 setup I had felt stronger down low, but there is no way a 5.3 can keep up after 50mph. I am going to guess my setup is right at the 550hp when I finally get around to finding out. Not sure if it will be that high for being at the wheels.
