Might order a stroker kit if i do which supercharger should i go with-looks like im gonna go all out like on the camaro but im gonna keep it within reason and do like a lil 402-408 kit. Will the radix hold up with this or do i need to go centrifical(procharger/vortech).

Why would you do that to a brand new truck

It is yours so I understand, but just add a supercharger to it and call it a day.

What kind of HP #s are you trying to achieve and what are your plans with the truck? Drag racing, light to light races?

I just like power-not really for drag racing just to do it and have a really fast 5000+lb truck.

Why not just do a nice cam and boost the hell out of it with a turbo or D1 or even see if you can be the Radix 500rwhp guy

With just rod bolts and some careful tuning you should be able to run near 600rwhp NP. Or do you want more? LOL

I'd say heads, cam, and blower/turbo would be fine. That LQ9 has lots of potential.

the other guys are right about having a really fast truck with just like a cam and blower. but i personally would like to see another 402/408 on here so i am encouraging you to do that. plus i also hear (for racing purposes) the centrifigal superchargers are better i.e the procharger that is just my opinion i could be wrong

do a cam, p&p the heads and throw on a STS kit. when you blow up your engine or it's about to fail pull the heads and have a 408 built. get ready for some serious tranmission upgrades.
