Sweet! I'm surprised you didn't notice a bigger difference down low. When I did the 6L swap it was night and day from the 5.3 on low end grunt. I could BARELY chirp the 24's with the 5.3, the 6L will smoke them for as long as I keep my foot in it. Congrats on the new times.

I think its the cam. Course there is no denying the track times. My 60' improved by a tenth but I'm almost sure I'd had more bottom end with the 114 LSA and ground in advance, but not the pull mid to high I've got now. I'm really digging the idle and extra sleeper aspect of it. Amazing how different it feels.

I'm glad you went with the GT7, that's the cam actually designed for the Radix. Congrats on your new setup

Good deal man. There really is no need though to put "assembly lube" on the cam just a good coat of oil. For those htinking of doing this swap soaking the lifters in oil over night will really help with the loud valvetrain noise at start up.
