Does the Gibbs truck use the stock Radix tune?

I should have said:

We make the supercharger systems for them with a tune that is for the Gibbs trucks only. They are the same supercharger and intercooler combo, they differ from the Magna Charger system in a few ways.

is there any way to get that tune? It sounds like it is better than the tune that comes with the magna/radix setup. Thanks for the info.

If I had to guess, it isn't. The Gibbs truck comes with 5psi I think it is, and the Magna kit comes with 7+. The timing and fueling on the tunes would be different.

Yeah I drove a Gibbs truck and was gonna buy it actually but way over priced-got my VHO instead and saved 3-5K!!! Still like the Gibbs truck though and it drove great and made some good power but was a lil dead when you nail it at 50-60mph. needs a good tune and some headers to wake it up a bit.
