to make a short answer even shorter, radix.

Why? Complete kit, everything you need is there, great customer assistance, and provides good power under the curve.

PM blown chevy, as he is an employee for magnacharger.

Flyer also has the kit, he may also help you out on more specific questions.

I WOULD SAY THAT THE RADIX IS PROLLY THE BEST ONE.DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD BE THE FASTEST BUT DEFINETLY THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK.COMES COMPLETE READY TO GO TUNING AND ALL THAT ****. IMO.WHEN IT IS PUT ON IT DEFINETLY ISN'T A HOG. 100-125 RWHP INCREASE

i went with the Radix bc of the completeness. They give you everything you need and the gains are remarkable...especially with a custom tune. btw, the radix is intercooled. and from what ive heard, could be wrong, but the procharger is more of a race/track unit. not very street friendly. just my $.02

I love my Radix,I wish i would have bought one for my vette.
Im sure the procharger makes alot of power but a Radix
with a 2.9 pulley makes alot of power as well, with some wicked
midrange.Also you really dont need gears or a giant stall
like you do with heads and cam or a procharger to run good.

Procharger would be better for all out drag situations, they make alot of power in the uper RPM's. But I have never heard of the Procharger being a 'complete/user friendly kit'. Radix makes full boost almost right off idle and is a very thorough kit - which is why I ordered one

oh yeah, another reason:
