turbo yes, radix no....you wont be able to spool enough boost with the radix and when you do...it will be all hot air. Turbo gives you more than you'll need pretty much

Yeah, that was a little over the top. I felt really guilty after I said it.

Seriously, though, when are you going to be done so I can take a ride. I do need to come up there sometime this Summer to pick up some springs and visit friends in SF....

If you are going the 408 route then my vote is for the turbo or a twin screw supercharger. The radix will run out of steam too fast.

That is an interesting comment. Unfortunately, Eaton doesn't publish enough specs on their MP112 to know it's capacity and if it is within it's efficiency range with a 402+

There is no 3.3L Starr-Whipple for me in the near future. I'm saving that for my 1st Gen Monte Carlo when I get it.

So when can we go for a spin in one of your trucks?
