Did'nt Todd@Dicsount just do almost the same thing with a Radix?

Does anyone have any recent dyno sheets on a Kenny Bell setup that I can see? I am used to the ones they used to make for older Mustangs and they were not all that great for the drag strip. They fell off way early and were generally only good for around town stomping.

You are right, they do lose a little steam. The non intercooled kit adds 96 rwhp and 135 ft pounds of torque at the rear. But where the torque starts to lose steam the horsepower really start to pick up.

135 rear torque is made at 2000 rpm and makes 111 till about 4000 then it drops to 96 at 5000

96 rwhp comes at 4700 rpm, and at 2000 rpm it makes 54 rwhp

But that is at only 6psi

Is this the average gains or on one particular vehicle?

If that is the average then I'd agree it's preyty damned cool. Especially for a tow vehicle or someone who is either AWD, 4x4 or runs sticky tires 24/7 because no way in hell are you gonna harness 400rwhp at 2000rpm otherwise. Hahaha

I dont know? It made 400 rear wheel torque at 2000rpm, I think that may have just been typo on your part, I hope i just didnt confuse you by my wording. They do alot of testing (according to their site) I just think all of that torque at 2000 rpm with a stock motor would be awesome. Add headers a cam and some tuning and watch out!

My bad, I meant 400rwtq. Just a simple typo.

I kinda figured the #s were directly from them. That's why I asked. I wanted to see real world data from real people. Not from the company themselves. I never trust companies to be 100% honest about their product.

Check this truck shootout. There were some running whipples, but from what I have read the programming from the companies suck. I think it said on the Whipple truck that the supercharger alone decreased time by 1 sec and with a custom tune decreased it again by 1 sec with only 7-8 pounds of boost. I would say it par with the Radix.

With a non intercooled radix i would have to agree, but i don't think it comes close with a intercooled radix

What kind of #'s does a Radix put down on a completly stock 5.3?
How much HP does the intercooler add?
