Radix Cam Experts...Need Recommendations/Advice. Tax Time is just around the corner!

The radix will extend the powerband of a cam. If you go too big, you'll need to spin that baby pretty high to get the full benefit. You'll also give up some torque, but you've got some to spare. If you want to stay under 6500 shifts, don't go any higher than a 220 intake duration.
If I were going to pick a cam for my truck right now, I'd be inclined to do a 220 XER intake and maybe a 222-224 XE exhaust lobe.

Nothing.
My grand scheme for my truck is a destroked 6.0L into a 5.3L. With a radix base intercooler and a Whipple 3300ax blower. I had been thinkning about this cam for that application.
I like it because it keeps the intake duration small to aid in torque production, and the exhaust duration is 13* larger, to let out all that FI exhaust. That large LSA looks kinda weird, but I guess it is for emissions compatibility.
It looks kinda like a larger version of Naked AV's camshaft
