Default Tryin to talk friend into a Radix for his 2500HD

I was trying to get some more dyno sheets posted to give him incentive. It's mainly his tow vehicle and daily driver/pavement pounder. The guy drives like a maniac and I think the Radix would work well for him

Soo. What I am asking for is dyno sheets for 5.3L and especially 6.0L trucks.

I Also would like to know what pulley sizes equate to what PSI on the 6.0L with just an exhaust.

How much is gained with an aftermarket airbox over the stock unit.

Can the Radix be ordered without the programing for a cheaper price since he already has Edit on the truck and works at an LS1 shop with a great tuner and an eddy current dyno.

What are the average ET/MPH for a truck like his with the Radix and 9-10psi? (he wont be happy with the stock boost. Turst me )

The stock pulley for the LM7 is 3.4", the LQ9 is 3.3", and the LQ4 is 3.1". They all produce between 5.5 and 6 psi of boost.

You may be able to order without the tuner, but the warranty for the Radix is null and void at that point (I believe).

Stock airbox is best AFAIK.

You still have my dyno sheet that I emailed you awhile back? I have at home if you need it. Someone with the VHO dynoed his truck 2 weeks ago and he got over 400rwhp I believe and some even higher torque numbers. My truck is going to Sac today to SMI for a trans performance rebuild. Hopefully next week I could get it on the dyno with a 3.0 inch pulley and get some new dyno numbers.

Yes I know. I talked to Sean (sp), and decided just to let SMI do it since they will offer a warranty and they wont warranty his. Thanks though.

most of our 2500HDs that leave here see close to or slightly above 400 with intake, exhaust, tuning and of course the magnacharger. Im sure I can come up with some graphs a bit later. On average, we do about 5 Magnas a week on the 6.0s
