Wanna put a Radix on
Hey everyone, new here, and I just got an 05 Silverado 5.3L this week. I realy want to put a Radix on it, since I saved so much with the GM Discount. Anyone know where I can get a good deal on one? By the way, I'm in Calabasas, CA.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Had I Known...
...how it would do and how complete the kit is I would have had it sooner. It just looks so natural under there. The new intake tube emblem is nice too. The nice new bright aluminium intercooler is the only givaway. I am not going to advertise it is on there anywhere on the outside of the truck.
Gas milage on the highway is untouched or better. The installer said it should get better. Too soon to tell. I got 20+ mpg on the way home from the install @ 75mph on the interstate. I got to see that a few more times before I stop pinching myself. On a loaded Z71 4X4 ECSB, that is better than the window sticker's 19mpg rating.
City is different. You really have to pamper it to stay off boost when taking off. I try and can hear it trying to boost a little bit. Old habits.
I got what I wanted. More power with OE like drivability. Had I just stalled and cammed it up to the point of getting this kind of HP increase there would have been issues when doing the "go to dinner with the wife thing" and mpg would be in the gutter at all times. For what I wanted, "A more than the average bear sleeper", I got it.
Heh Heh, there are several RumbleBee's around here that are going to get messed with too.
