has anyone done this or heard of it.i read that it can get you almost 50 rwhp.is this true.

 

I think what has been posted on here in the past is that the Radix is already ported. Apten does them for the Eatons on the Fords and has good results from it. Not much good on a Radix, from what I hear.

 

ah, hold on a sec

 

Here's what their website says:

Apten Performance Ported Eaton Supercharger
The Apten-ported Eaton blower has been causing a bit of a stir. The porting modification nets between 30-40 rwhp and the cost is $599. with exchange. I bought their ported blower mod and netted 38rwhp. A custom dyno tuned chip to match your modifications and a quick change pulley set are also available.

For an additional $495. Apten will polish the exterior of the blower. The price is $495. and the whole polishing process takes just over a week. For more info contact them at (314) 276-9608 or E-mail: info@apten-us.com

The Dyno Proof!
Below are pictures and dyno charts from one of our test vehicles. Thee tests were done in 90 degree weather and reflect real world gains. Our test car consistently made nearly 480RWHP with our supercharger, pulley, cat-back exhaust, and intake kit. If you consider those numbers are at the rear wheels, this motor is really making around 560HP at the flywheel! Those products give a combined HP gain of 180HP!

 

heres what they emailed me when I asked your question:

from apten:

We've explored porting the Mangnacharger, and the design of the intake on it really prohibits us from doing a really effective port. We should be able to port it and get a moderate performance increase, but I really can't make any accurate claims as far as what kind of HP gain your could expect on your blower.

 

Blownchevy investigated this a while back. I was pretty sure he said the Radix already had the benefit of porting.

I sent them (Apten) pictures of the intake side of the Radix about 4-5 months ago and they told me they weren't sure at the time if they could even do it.

 

doesn't seem worth it to me.

 

I called and spoke with them about 8 weeks ago. They said they could not port a Radix.

 

DO NOT PORT YOUR RADIX. And trust me, they may SAY the m112 on the lightning is getting 38-40 rwhp, but in reality it is less than that. There have been more bad stories about Apten than good.

 

allright that is all i wanted to know,i'm still stuck on what to get as far as forced induction.radix procharger or sts.if i could pick up a radix for about 48 4900 bucks i would prolly go for it.i will just wait to see if pro turbo is going to do the kits for our trucks.thanks for the info on this.
