I took the Z71 on a little road trip this weekend and it didnt do too good. I pretty much drove 2,000 miles in 3rd gear. It just didnt have enough power to push the 35s (soon to be 37s) down the perfectly level road in high gear going about 85. So I have decided it needs a power adder. So I need some opinions from you guys to see what yall think. The truck is the Z71 in my sig. It has a bone stock 5.3. There are a couple of options I am looking at. Option #1 would be of course the good ol trusty Radix. #2 would be a T76 set up with air to water intercooler basically the exact same as Parish's set up. I am not looking to make a race truck since i have already made my previous daily driver a race truck on accident . I will be driving this truck daily and the occasional towing of the other truck to the track. So let me know what yall think would be the best for me. I wont be running that much boost, I am tryin to decide which would produce least heat.

 

Id get some gears, if you dont have any yet.

 

With what you want in mind I think Radix fits the bill perfectly.

 

you should not have sold your Radix '

 

O I know I wish I didnt but I didnt have any plans of getting another truck but O well nothing I can do about it now. I am lookin for a good deal on one since i basically gave mine away. HAHA. Think you could hook me up Blown????

 

I think you shoud go with the turbo. You've allready done the Supercharger thing, so try some thing diffrent. I know I LOVE turbos, but thats just me. I think that a kit like Parish has is around 6 grand, but worth it!!

 

Ya I would like to try something different but I just dont know what would be better for a lifted truck.

 

Go with what you know. PM me

 

There's a couple of used S/C's in the Classifieds...a Kenne Bell and a Vortech if I'm not mistaken. I know that they're not the favorites around here, but since you're not looking for a max-effort setup for drag racing, I'd say look into picking up one of those.

 

At first I misread nad thought you still had the old truck. In that case my comment was to take the Radix off the "race truck" and put it on the new truck, then turbo the race truck. But since that isn't possible... I'd think the Radix is the way to go because you know it has a limit. Whereas the turbo can become a get a bigger turbo or wastegate, injectors, intercooler endless cycle of upgrading for more power (ohh ohh.. TWIN TURBOS!).

With the radix you have to stop before it gets REALLY crazy

PS my Radix is finally able to break the tires loose... a tiny bit... with a 3.0 pulley and some more timing down low. The H2 doesn't have 37's but they are almost 35's and it does weight 6400+ lbs with full time 4wd.
