Default Forced Induction Project

Ok, I've decided to go with the Radix (for now) and I've tried to put together a list of what I'd like to install. Radix guys please chime in.

Intercooled Magnacharger 119 or 122
2.9” Pulley
Crank Bolt Pinning Kit
Thunder Racing Tune
AutoMeter Cobalt Air/Fuel Ratio Wideband Gauge
AutoMeter Cobalt Electronic Full SweepVacuum/Boost Gauge 30hg/30psi
AutoMeter Cobalt Electronic Full Sweep Fuel Pressure 0-100psi
A-Pillar Triple Gauge Pod
Aeroforce Interceptor OBD-2 Data Stream Gauge
Sensor Kit for Intake Fuel Temperature
Auto Meter D-PIC Performance Gauge
SoCal Diesel Overhead Gauge Pod (Black)
Transgo HD 4L80E Shift Kit
ALKY Control Water/Meth Injection Kit

Like I said, I'm open to and appreciate any feedback on this plan. This is just what I've pulled from different forums and websites around the internet.

Thanks for all of the help,
Colby

If you go with a 122h then you will make lots of boost with a 2.9" pulley. With a 112 you will see around 9-10 lbs. I would probably buy a cam and headers instead of a couple of the gauges. I only ended up using the wideband on my truck.

Tha should set you pretty good!! As stated above you need to shoot for a boost level rather then a pulley size. The Cam, Exhaust and other mods will dictate the pulley size for the boost you want.

my opinion..i dont think you need all those gauges and stuff since you cant over boost a radix. you dont have to worry about all that stuff with the kit...you tune for the pulley you are gonna run and thats it...no problems...if you put all that stuff on it will be there just for dress up and that is fine if thats what you want but you dont need them...again my opinion...
this is just another good reason the radix is a bad *** kit...

Yeah I figured the gauges would be total eye candy. I've seen it set up like that a time or 2 in the past and it looked really cool.

Dump the a pillar guages and just get the so-cal overhead. If u really need guages u can get dual action SPAL guages that give u the bulk of what u need. I find the a-pillar is just too distracting. Go for a GT2-3 cam and maybe heads at some point or headers...but thats all a good start. U can prob make do with a good shift kit and servos on the stock tranny. R/

Don't think you change the servos on a 4L80E it is a little different design than the 4L60E. I installed a Transgo HD2 (except for the internal parts) and a hardened separator plate in mine.

Sounds like a nice build....best of luck and enjoy!

+1 . Just use the Interceptor guage, it combines and will do what the other guages do. It would be redundant.
