How about some details Ripped?
I wasn't able to dyno my SS so I can't add much beyond my opinion. Plus my 427 combo was putting down 440RWHP in a C5 without the blower. A duplicate motor to mine with a Magnason (C5 SC) put down somewhere in the 625 FWHP with loads of TQ at 5lbs.

Someone could make a few bucks with a kit for the intercooler. Making a larger one would work wonders.

FWIW my Radix had a few issues because I was spinning it hard with a 2.8 @6500 Rpms... I had to move my shift points to 6100 to get it shifted before it hit 6600. Either way a Radix with 450RWHP would leave a 450RWHP Head and Cam in the dust IMHO because of the TQ it makes.

The L's looks like it would cool 10x better being so much larger, but I'm wondering if the L's design is as efficient. The manifold on the L drops down in the "V" of the motor, and obviously the L's cooler is much larger, but what happens is the air has to go down through the intercooler than back up the sides into the intake ports - while the Radix simply flows through the cooler then directly to the intake ports.

I need to make it to the dyno pretty soon. Hopefully I can put down some decent numbers now (with a working transmission ) I need to call allen tomorrow to find out where my darn ECU is. For some reason the truck doesn't like missing its automatic tranny. about 17 check engine codes.
