So, If I put a Radix on an otherwise stock (Except for Flowmaster) 5.3 Tahoe, am I gonna feel the difference? I had a Powerdyne Supercharger with 9 PSI boost and a custom tune throught Diablo Sport (Predator) All I got was a slipping serpentime blet, some squealing, and a power loss above 4500 rpm, (because of the belt slipping) Not impressed, took off and sold immediatley. Investing 5 to 6K on a Radix better impress me. What do ya think? By the way, what the hell is a STS?

Please scan the sheet. I am VERY interested!!

And Grippy, hush. You're still gonna be staring at my tailgate no matter how much we debate this issue. :p

It's ok though lil buddy. I'll let you hold my helmet between runs while I talk to the lady fans.

I checked out the STS site. Several of the links (vidoes etc) would not come up but I did read up on the turbo. Sounds like it's pretty good and thoudands less than a Radix. However, everyone who has a Radix can only say great things about it. I guess I would have to find a place that can install a STS for me and examine the price vs. performance difference. I live in Navaree, FL (Near Pensacola) finding a performance shop around here takes an act of congress.

Anyone paying under $4,800 USD for a Radix?

Just raise your hand or nod.
