I just got back home from picking it up, the drive is 161 miles.

First impression: I could feel that the power was alot different then before. I tended to run the rpms up real high around 4500-6500 before the Radix. It know feels the best all the way from 2500-6500 rpms, it literally sits you back in the seat. On the highway it can best be described as a Freight Train (good analogy BlownChevy) it is unreal from 65-120 on a 3rd gear drop (be ready to shift real fast). The power is so linear that you dont notice how fast you are accelerating until you look at the cars that were just next to you, they are now back 1/8 mile or more within a few seconds. Getting over to my house I had a chance to run a good 1st to 2nd romp and my neck is hurting. This thing revs as fast as my 2002 Z06 did, I am going back out for a little drive.

It is going to take some practice launching this without turning the tires into dust.

Keep in mind that this is completely stock other then the Supercharger. I still have to do LT Headers, Full Exhaust, Intake Mods, 4.10 or 4.56 Gears then I will probably need some different pullies for the back of the supercharger to get the boost at 6-7 psi.

I need to do something about the traction first. It will still launch pretty good out of the hole from an idle and once you are moving it stays put real good. I just want some stickier tires that are a little wider (335/30R20), these are actually 1" shorter so it will effect the feel also.

I just figured I would loose some boost after the exhaust and air box mods. I would like to keep it at 6.5 psi if possible.
