i would go with the radix, then by the time your 4.8 blows up you will have saved up for the 6.0

I'd buy GMSki's procharger for $2k, a used LQ4 for $1000, trans work for $1000+ and a nitrous kit for $500+. $5000 and you should run 11s. Well, you'd still need tuning, but maybe you could trade farmtruc your take out 4.8 for a tune.

The RADIX will net you MORE HP for the Dollar than the 6.0. Do the RADIX first...then save for a 6.0, thats what I did.
