Shift kit and servos for sure on the tranny! A good exhaust will help it out a lot, I say true duals, 2.5" pipe with good free flowing mufflers. A cam will wake it up too, something small though.

That would be a good start.

Can you get us the hook up on some tires? I'm fixing to be in need of some.

If it's a new kit, you already have the upgraded heat exchanger, so you're covered there. TR6 plugs are best for the Radix with 42# injectors, though the regular ones are fine, iridiums not necessary.

The #1 mod IMO is a tune...the Superchips tune that comes with the Radix is super conservative (rich) to prevent detonation. From there, I say run it for a few hundred miles before you decide on further upgrades.

Keep in mind that an aftermarket tune voids your Radix warranty...
