Radix has a smaller compressor than the Whipple does and the Radix is intercooled. Whipple is also a twin screw setup vs the Radix is a modified roots style.

If I had my choice it'd be a Radix setup with a big Whipple compressor...I think it's made by Lyshome (sp?). Intercooled, big injectors, etc.

Well since XLR had to make a correction so will I. It's actually a Holden Monaro not a GTO but you guys probably already knew that.

Yep, it has a air-water intercooler under the blower like the RADIX setup. If you look close you can see it in those pics. Here is the company that sells it. They don't seem to have any info on there site but, it's EXSPENSIVE!!! Like $10,000.00 if I remember right.

The intake and intercooler are all one piece and yes they make all of it. On the homepage of that site you can see the coolant lines running out the intake/intercooler. It should fit in a truck but, the drive setup would need to be redone I'm guessing. Thinking about going back to a Whipple?
Whipple sells longer blower drive snouts so something like the current RADIX drive setup could probably be made.

That's a lot of cash for a blower, but it is badass!
