Whne it gets fixed I'll be trying out a pretty big turbo and see how it affects power and lag so people buying in the future will have more choices.

Even the way it sat I would still be happy with. I have sooo much power under the curve it ain't funny. Have power down low is cool and all but it aint the fastest way to the end of the 1/4mile. I make over 400rwhp from 4k to 6.7K RPM.

Click link in sig for dyno sheet. Hopefully the new turbo will help my HP line keep climbing.

i told you over on dodgetrucks 13# was pushin it.

I'm ordering the kit later today. Going with a GT-70 turbo and shooting for 15lbs of boost. I love the Radix and firmly believe that 8lbs and under of boost, the differences in terms of power and speed are negligible. Anything above, the turbo is going to win. I would love to see the two matched up at the track with similar mods. Radix just couldn't support what I wanted for a stroker 408.

The idea of having a turbo that most people don't see is really appealing to me, and I've heard it has good gains.
I have the kit on my Silverado SS and I love it... Do it you wont regret it one bit and the sound will frighten the ricers away...
Shoot me a PM we are really close up here in North Dallas
