Just watched it. It was a Joe Gibbs Performance truck with the Radix on it. That truck should have a stalled built auto with a 6.0L and Radix. Then it would ROCK!

BlownChevy was saying they come with a pressed on pulley with only 5psi. That would explain the low performance from the RADIX on that truck. My dad did ask me if I saw the size of the pulley, he said it was HUGE, but I didn't notice it.

THey are waayyy to high for what it is. The blower, you could add for 5k, suspension, 500 for sway bars, and however much for tires, then another 3k for some really good brakes (front and rear), and that's still less than what they had added on I believe.

Yeah, the pulley was pretty big. Didn't really pay much attention to that but, remember seeing it good.

I don't know but 390HP and 425ftlbs isn't bad for a 4.8.
