If you are looking to get about 120 rwhp gain, and spend about 5K and 9 hours installing it then go Radix.
personally I dont see a 6.0 truck making over 400 ft pounds at 2500 rpm.....and I certainly dont see you getting 120 rwhp over your 5.3 with the 6.0 swap.
let me know if I can help you out any further

There are ways to get it done the N/A way still. You would just need the right combination of parts and quality tuning.

He also said it would have good idle and still use the stock injectors. Would just have to add an external fuel pump.
