I know I am pushing the envelope in the name of automotive science I figure what I learn can hopefully teach others what NOT to do with these kits or how to be successful with em. I'll never tote them as the best kit out there as there are too many variables for that. Everyone has a sepcific need and I'm just glad we have a plethora or FI kits to choose from.

So recently I have been up and down on the seesaw, I cant decide what I really want to go with either the sts of the radix (not that I am going to buy on now). Right now I am at a level where i am considering the STS just based on the turbo sound. I really love the Radix and then that STS thing came along, I really dont know!!!

I think you will be happy either way. I was the same way , i was looking at the radix and along came STS. The thing that swayed me was the price. Mine was the first 6.0 kit out and the price,well lets just say they made me an offer i couldn't refuse. But i'm glad i got it because i like the was it tows. It's like the more load you put on it the more power it makes. Also i get better gas mileage.

I've always liked superchargers. Its instant power at the pedal.. Felt in love with blowers after my first drive of an 01 Svt lightning. Damn those trucks are responsive and quick. That wine from the blower is great but i also like the sound from turbos. I would go with Radix kit for easy power at the wheels. But look at parish's truck if you want that kind of power go with that set up!!! nice

I am trying to decide on either of the two, STS or Radix. The only worry I have about the STS is the dam weather in Jersey, snow, rain, and ice. What is all that crap going to do to the turbo? I am not so worried about the rain, but the snow,ice, and salt combo.
