Who said 600 with the Radix alone? I said the Radix could and does support more than 550 hp.

You make it sound like this is with the Radix alone. If it's with nitrous then the nitrous is making a huge difference so it's not quit accurate. It's missleading when most Radix system rarely put out above 550rwhp without major upgrades to the rest of the system or a 2nd power adder.

Besides, I just asked a simple question. Answer it to satisfy my curiousity. LOL

whitt1 perhaps? I think he's close to 600rwhp with a radix and a 402. I don't know for sure though.

I think its funny how people used to say the radix is only capable of 500rwhp, and now people are saying 550rwhp. What will it be in 6months, 600rwhp?

I like how he called the radix, The Radixxx.....it's Triple X rated.

What I'm getting at is the Radix is not putting out those big #s without big cubes and lots of motor work and/or a 2nd power adder. A local Rx7 with a 402 just put out 504rwhp N/A. Most big built 402s are in the upper 400 to low 500rwhp range as is so it's not very awe inspiring to see a big cube motor with a Radix and still well under 600rwhp IMO. That may be just me *shrug*

Obviously I'm a Radix fan or I wouldn't have bought one but I like things to be kept honest and in perspective. Most Radix setups are under 500rwhp simple as that

I thought the Radix couldn't make more then 499.9999 HP no mater what you did to it.

As far as which is better Radix or ATI.... Neither is better. Just different. They are different blower types that work differently and different characteristics. The Radix kit is a simpler kit and will be more trouble free so that's it big selling point. However the ATI kit is cheaper and has a higher power potential with more work.

I would recommend the Radix for ease of use.
