Well, the Radix is on, and running great. Haven't installed my boost, and fuel pressure gauges yet, hopefully soon. Get this, in travelling between Pittsburgh, and Washington,DC almost every week, I like to keep track of my gas mileage. Well, last week on the way down, I got 19.8 on the highway! That's not with any mileage gauges, but dividing the gallons into the miles. Last night on my way home, I averaged 19.0. Thats better than before I did the blower. Another interesting thought, going down the PA pike last week with the cruise set on 75 (ok, 65) I stopped about halfway to stretch the legs, and refresh. I left the engine running, and opened the lid to the intercooler resorvoir, and the fluid was just barely luke warm! Of course, when cruising down the highway, you're not under boost, so not much heat in the intake. That tells me that A: the heat exchanger is doing a MIGHTY GOOD job, and B: the pump just might be pumping the fluid a little too fast. What if (now this would be strictly for using at the track) you were to build a container (like the old fuel line cool cans) that you could pack with dry ice to lower the temp even further. Then, slow the pump down, and maybe even wire in some electric fans to be running while sitting in the lanes to combat some of the heat soak problems. HMMMM just thinking out loud, but there might be some new projects this summer.

 

Nice! glad to hear the good report bro!......lol, but all I hear you talking about is gas mileage

what about the

wheeeeeeeeee!!!

 

Sorry to sound like a broken record on that subject! Been traveling up, and down the highway, and haven't had a chance to make it to the track. Just opened last week, and this weekend, **** weather, so we wait. Although, the SOTP meter says WEEEEHAAA! The one wheel peel is now about 100' long!

 

hahahaha! lol

Congrats again on the mileage, let me know if you need any tips on the boost and fuel pressure senders, I just installed mine, I can point you where to go, part #'s and all.

 

I'm pondering my gauges as we speak. I was fooling with the pod, trying to see the best place to run the wires, and stuff, and wouldn't ya know it, I broke the factory pillar piece. I had on, and off 3 times, but that last time, the little bracket broke off that holds it in. Got one new from the local Chevy dealer, $22. I'll be more careful this time. I'd be interested in any pics of how you mounted your sending units. I'm going to be doing the braided line/remote mount for the fuel pressure sender.

 

thats what I did, remote mount & all braided lines, you'll need specific lengths though, I think you'll really like how/where I mounted the senders, took me about 3 hours to figure out how I wanted to mount them, were I was comfortable mounting them, etc. etc. I'll have pics up later tonight or early tomorrow

 

congrats - it really is an awesome kit

 

Oh yeah, and I got my catch can installed. Plumbed both lines into the top form the engine side, then ran both lines into their respective connections on the intake tube, and back of the blower. I'll check for ooil next week, after some long highway miles.

 

got any pics of the install?

 

19 mpg???? Man what am I doing wrong??? Best ever was 17 on a 1 hour downhill trip for me. Usually 14-15 on the highway. You guys are lucky bastards.
