You know I'm just giving ya **** because it's fun and not because I have anything against the Radix right? If I had a second truck I'd get a Radix for it just so I could take videos of me smokin it with my STS kit.

Like if you want to run more than the 4-5 psi of boost with the stock kit you mean?

I have 3+ psi more (on top of the 6 psi I already have) just waiting for me in a little box in the garage. I think it will take me all of about 5 minutes to do that upgrade....

I love to swim, what can i say? LOL

You realize I am on a mission to make someone get fed up and sell their Radix kit for an STS kit so I can pick it up cheap and slap it on my new 2wd when I get it. :p

So don't get you bolts all loosened up over this.

OK....this really should not be a pissing contest.

Like I have said....the STS is not complete, we all know this to be true....there are a few things left to make it a complete deal, it does make power...no doubt about that.

The Radix is a proven SYSTEM that has been in service for over 5 years now and the company (Magnuson Products) has been around for over 50.

I get sick and tired of hearing about "peak" hp numbers....I can show you "peak" numbers all day, but if you want more power under the curve, drivability, CARB, instructions that set the bar in the industry, and customer service that cant be touched, you know where to go.

Unless you are Grippy, then it may take 5 weeks

Ahh but if the STS owner spent as much as the Radix kit he would already have the IC on and could turn up the whick faster than you could install your new pulley.

And where do you stop on pump gas and have a motor that will live more than 20K?

Well I guess we'll see when people start posting up what with all these turbo kits coming out...I'm not bashing the Radix, I just know you'll come back defending the Radix like always so I like to

You don't know how much I spent on my Radix kit, but I guarantee an upgraded turbo and/or IC/meth will cost much more than that.
