Radix comes with everything you need, whole new manifold with injectors, fuel pump, intercooler, tuning, etc

alot of people spend as much money as the Radix on other S/C combos becauase they have to buy all the extra stuff, and often run more boost on them to equal the power gains you see with the Radix.

You can get a Radix for ~$4500 if you shop around. If I had it to do over again, I'd seriously consider a Whipple or a Kenne Bell. The Radix is okay but when a non-intercooled twin screw puts out as much or more than a intercooled modified roots, it's clear what the superior technology is.

if the technology is so superior then why arent they intercooled yet? They are trying, but they cant seem to get it to work

Brian, believe it or not, the sun doesn't rise and set on the MP112. If you really don't know why a twin-screw is more efficient than a modified roots, I feel for you bro.

Never said the sun rises and sets on it....Just made a point, why dont the others have a intercooler.

There may or may not be others out there that are better.....I guess the twin screw is good for what it was originally invented for.......

Naked, I wonder if Magna will ever come out with a bigger radix type huffer, that would be super cool as long as it bolted up to our existing manifolds!!
