Default Radix or not to Radix

Radix = 5000.00
Or should I consider cammed, longtubed, tuned, electric fanned, sprayed 6.0 for about the same money. I am a mechanic so no labor charges apply. I welcome all educated comments.

to drive everyday put a cam in it and radix it.i think that would be more street friendly.

if you want to go all out put a cammed 6.0 in there and when you get some more money put a blower in it.

The Radix is much more fun to drive. Its all about that part throttle response, boost when you want, and wide power band. You won't get any part throttle benefit from nitrous.

My SS was cammed, longtubed, torque converted, and sprayed before I put the Radix on. Its so much more fun to drive w/ the Radix.

I love my Radix and now want to put a 6.0 under it. I'd do it again this way... put on the Radix and then plan and build a 6.0 and put the Radix on it. The Radix is really a lot of fun to drive and people like to look at it at the shows/cruises. Lots of fun. More fun than this ole fart has had in quite a while.

Radix kit is very well put together,,,everything is there. Excellent phone support from friendly and knowledgeable folks plus help here... blownchevy aka Brian works for Magnuson and was very helpful to this cranky old fart during my installation. I'm a very happy customer who loves to hear that whine!

Not to start a pissing contest here but you never run out of boost when you need it, unlike some other power adders For an everyday driver the radix is a blast!
