WoW! The Torque!
WoW, 120-RWHP HP gain as advertised. Congrad's 
. Send Me Your Charts And I'll host them up here. Address PM'd to you.
Mine is in the shop for the Radix install now. Although 120 RWHP is being said, I am told not to be surprised if it is more like 90.
My Base dyno run on my L33 5.3 ran more to the floor @ 267HP but only 288TQ.
What brand of Dyno were you on?
Are You Intercooled?

Does it run just as good at both readings?

yeah it is intercooled...........I will have to call the shop I had it dynoed at and find out what kind of dyno they have. I wasn't that impressed with the stock numbers and expected it to at least be around 300, but was happy when I saw the 120 hp gain..........I dont think the gauge is messed up because while it was on the dyno it was only showing 2.5 lbs so we unhooked the line going to the gauge and hooked it up to another one under the hood at the t fitting and it also showed 2.5........I dont see how I gained 120 rwhp with 2.5 lbs. and if both gauges were reading 2.5 that must be what it was making. I also dont get how it will sometimes be 2.5, 3, or just under 5 unless the bypass is bleading off pressure, but how do I check that.

I cant really feel a difference in performance between when it shows 2.5 or 5. Seat of the pants it feels the same. and it made that dyno pull only showing 2.5. It cant be reading right because I seriously dont think an LQ9 is going to make 120 hp gain in 102 degree weather off of 2.5 lbs of boost.

I had the truck put on the dyno before the install and after and here are the numbers. I tried to put the sheets on here but the files were to big. I will see if I can mess with that later.
Stock with FIPK
It was 10:00 AM on the 5th the temp was 86.58 and the humidity was at 24%. It made 244.61 hp and 335.87 lbs of torque.
Radix and FIPK
It was 5:00 PM on the 6th. The temp was 102.71 and the humidity was at 8%. IT made 366.61 hp and 398.64 lbs of torque. This was with the boost guage only reading 2.5 lbs. It was double checked under the hood with another guage which also showed 2.5 lbs. Since then I have seen the boost go any where from 2.5 to 5 lbs. I dont know why the boost readings are so inconsistant, but I know it is making boost other wise I wouldn't have gotten a 120 rwhp gain. Is anyone else seeing this in their truck?

I live in Keller TX, not to far from Fort Worth.
I have a Magnacharger and will be getting a Radix soon.
I sent you a PM.

sounds to me like you may want to pick a diffrent spot to hook up the boost gauge becouse if you hooked up a diff guage to the same spot and it read the same and you feel no diff between 2.5 and 5 psi then its probably making the boost but your not reading it. do you have a way to datalog anything so maybe you can see what the maf is reading. i'd say find a diffrent refrence for the boost guage.use diffrent t fitting and all. are you sure your line going into the fitting is not pushed in too far and is causeing a blockage. might wanna check all this before you go and spend the money on a new gauge.
