I asked Allen about detonation and he said with the 3" I won't have any problems. I don't have a scan tool but there has been no audible pre-ignition.
I do have the larger Radix HE so that may help also.

I did a head cam swap when I did the radix, I netted 5.7PSI and it actually feel away as revs increased. peaked @ 3700rpm, I've since gone to a 3.25" pulley and when I put the headers on about a month and a half ago I went with a 3.0" pulley from nelson. people can't believe a truck as big a my burb can move so fast.

I experienced only a half pound loss in peak boost when I did my heads with my Radix. My heads are stgII TEA 6.0L heads. The cam choice is critical if you don't want to experience the loss of boost up top. Boost will actually bleed back up top and you want to minimize that. A cam specific to your setup, ie blower design, would be your best bet. My cam was designed by Futral Motorsports - sponsor of this site.
If you have the LQ4 motor, I think you should be able to do nearly 10lbs, if not 10lbs, of boost with a good tune. It took a 2.75" pulley for me to break into 10+lbs. A couple of SS's are running it with the LQ9 motor, with no problems yet.
Your stock crank pulley should be 7.75".
adrian, don't you, being a Eaton employee, have the resources for all these blower questions? Just curious.

There are several divisions within Eaton. If the info/data/application experience relative to comparable configurations etc was as accessible as the combined knowledge of all the gear heads in this forum and the like I simply would not have asked.
If you look at my inquiries you'll see that they are Magnacharger Radix Application specific and reaction to comments. Referring to the Magnacharger website it appears as if the Eaton product is modified and is dependent on kit utilization. Specs, OEM application details etc. for the M112 that are readily available within Eaton are only partially applicable.
Thanks,
