TRW is right, You don't need i high lift cam with a turbo and the cam would work a lot better with more intake duration

I'm going with a 224/220-.535-116 or maybe a lil more durration not sure yet.

This is for the STS turbo I just ordered.

Both kits will work out awesome. i just liked the adjustability of the turbo and the novelty of it. When it's all said and done you will pay close to the same for both setups though.

*EDIT* revveres my reverse split cam lol

1 RSCB CMTurbo 5.3 7 psi

Keep the tuning that the power adder comes with....just let the power adder do the work!

Could be fun huh?
I'd say highest mph in the 1/4 mile would be:
1-CMTurbo
2-3-tie Radix and STS.
If the STS had an intercooler, I think It'd edge out the radix.

ET wise I'd say:
1-2-Radix and CMTurbo tie
3-STS last because of turbo lag.

Could be totally wrong though. But its fun to guess.

Turbo lag in the 1/4mile? On an Auto?

I don't think any one system is gonna have the edge because to run any one of them to the max there are going to be WAAAY too many variables. *shrug*

There are a couple toyota's with the STS kit here that pull 2.5 60' times. So I figured there was some turbo lag there.
