Not a show piece, but moves pretty good. Thinking about some 18 or 20" American Racing Torq Thrust II - Magnesium centered wheels and a cowl hood in the future.

i love that color combo! and those exhaust tips are bad!!! i think a cowl hood will really compliment that truck as well as a little cooler underhood temps!BTW I'd love to see those wheels on a truck, we just put a set on my dad's 55 bel air and they look badass!

dayum, sleeper city. I wouldn't touch a thing on it, except for maybe dumping the exhaust. Who would think pulling up to that thing that it runs high 12's?

Yep very clean and good looking truck. I have a few questions though why did you go with the LPE GT-7 Cam and not the GT2-3 Cam and who tuning you're truck?

Thanks and BTW your truck is sex on wheels!

The LPE-GT7 was actually designed for the Radix. I also had a custom cam very similar to the to the GT2-3 in my 5.3. Wanted something a little larger in the 6.0. Its a nice cam. Idles great, pulls strong mid to top end. If I had it to do over again I would still go with it but see If I could have it ground with some advance to put a little more torque down low. Might advance it a couple degrees myself If I find myself back into the engine. Course this is all based upon the SOTP meter. I'll get it to dyno soon.

I do my own tuning but admit to being a complete novice. HPT. It's not to far off from the original Radix tune. Lots of trans tuning and minor timing and WOT fueling changes.

The Torq Thurst are a classic wheel. Here are the ones I'm thinking about. The 18" version. Enough to clear big brakes and not as much of a performance hit as 20's.
