Default S/C 6.0

Who all has a 6.0 with any kind of SC? If you do please list what mods you have done to the motor and what type of SC you are running and what kind of power you are throwing down to the wheels. thanx ahead of time.

I am running the original magnacharger (5.5-6psi) on a stock motor. The rest of my mods are in my sig. I have never dyno'ed it but my Gtech says its moving 5800lbs+ at 15.1-15.2
A radix on your truck would be nothing short of awsome

You would need to start a savings account for tires....

I have the Radix on my SS. A slightly different 6.0 than you have. (the LQ9 vs the LQ4, higher compression being the main difference). I have not dynoed my truck, so I don't have any numbers on that. I do know the 1/4 mile time went from 15.3 to 13.9 with just the Radix. I have no other engine mods. I am thinking about a Corvette servo for the transmission to speed up the 1-2 shift.

Here is a chart showing the data collected from EFILive on a stock SS and my supercharged SS.

Nice numbers Cairns, I'll be installing another Radix on a '03 SS, I hope the results are very similar.
The truck has shorties and dual exhaust, TB spacer.
We'll be heading out to the track to get some before and after track runs.

I'll keep you updated,


allen

I ran the side mounted Magnuson on a 6.0 Suburban a few years ago. That system is no longer in production. It has been replaced by the Intercooled RADIX kit -



This system is very popular and usually good for a 130+hp increase. More power is just a pulley swap away. The installation really isn't to bad. An extra set of hands will make life easier when you lower the new manifold/supercharger between the heads.

Wait a few weeks and get a Single turbo kit from Cobination motor sports
That's what I'm going with no Belts to worry About
and just as efficient as the radix I'm sure
Btw I'm running a Procharger with 8lbs of boost it made 535rwhp and 500rwtq
