Selling it because I upgraded to a 90mm throttlebody when I pulleyed down on my Radix. Night and day throttle response. Truck made ~7.5# of boost on a stock Magnacharger 6# pulley which the tuner contributed to the better airflow of the throttlebody feed by the air filter.

what in the world did they do to the bar...it looks like it was filed down in 3 places, instead of being cut off...

The bar was not half shafted since it was used on a "Force Induction" motor were more srtrength is needed since more strain is being applied to the shaft than on a NA motor but wouldnt risk it. Unit worked great and provided great results in my opinion over stock.

As stout as the shaft is anyways, and the fact that the only time full force is applied to the blade is when you are WOT, I dont see a problem half shafting one...

(not tryin to argue, just thinking and typing...lol)

Bump for you, great price on a PP one.
