Default RADIX UPDATE

started it up this morning for the first time and wwwooowww it idles just like it did before the charger even sounded the same you cant tell its even there

so i double checked all the connections before the test drive and its all clear for takeoff so i back out of drive way and go for a spin around the block truck feels just like it did before the charger i finally get to this long straight road i was doin 40 or 50 i floor it, it kick dawn to what ever gear maybe second and... OH MY GOD my stock bad years started to spin truck went side ways a bit as if i was on ice i cant believe how much torque this monster puts out,,
i am amazed at how steetable this charger is its the quiet daily driver type.

Welcome to the dark side
I don't think I could own another vehicle that I could'nt put a charger on. Its just too damn fun. I am still amazed what 5.5psi did to my crew cab.
What type of truck do you have?

I am so jealous! I really want a Radix kit too, especially after taking a spin in blownchevy's Radix equipped truck!

I just can't spend the cash now, especially since Im saving for an engagement ring

Congrats MarineBlue.

I am in the process of putting my truck (in sig) back to stock. I can't seem to keep a tranny in it. I am going to try and trade it off with a rebuilt stock tranny for a reg cab short bed truck and put all my stuff in that truck. I plan on making a monster of a rocket out of it.

glad to hear you got it up and running. It is nice to have something that will run. I constantly got complemented on my Z71 and how fast it is.

Yea .. after experiencing the boost .. I would be buying a box of Cracker Jacks for her .. and a blower for me! :p

Just to cover my rear .. I was just joking about that ... she would 'always' come before my truck.
