In that case I guess we will be sitting at home and you will have a lot of dusty parts.

I would look at something with good vacuum and idle,because your Radix setup is sensitive to low engine vacuum causing premature closing of the bypass valve with surging and light throttle boost.I don't think the 113 LS is a good idea.I'm going with a smaller GT2-3 cam and let the supercharger build power,instead of the added duration.

I'd agree with that if you were concerned about every day driving and mpg. If you are worried about out all out performance, then i'd go with your pick. I have learned that the Radix isn't much fun to drive if you are worried about every day mileage and have it pullied down. It just depends on your cup of tea. When are you going to install the WCCH heads??? Are you done yet, are you done yet, are you done yet?

I'm actually very concerned about both drivability and max power

I figured so. With a 6.0 I don't know for sure, but with the 4.8 and a 3.0" pulley it was fun to drive but keeping out of PE was almost impossible and gas mileage severly suffered. A 6.0 with a 2.75 probably isn't too far off from what I have experienced.
Now what about that plane ticket again?

the LSA is 115. Do you have a side project then?

I'm going with the smaller cam and a bigger blower on my new setup.I figure that 12 to 14 lbs of boost will more than make up for the lost duration.And the drivability will be great.
