The Tahoe is about to be Radix'ed
#14
The Radix is finally on the Tahoe and running. I have kept it under 2000 rpm so far until Charlie can get a good tune for it; he gave me an extra PCM with a basic Radix tune on it for safe measure so I can still get around, but would rather not romp on it until it's dialed in.
Matt and I spent from 9am Saturday morning until 6pm, then 9am Sunday morning until a little after 3pm getting all of this done. Huge props to him for working his tail off and doing some bada$$ fab work. I am definitely going to him when I put anything else on the Tahoe, he knows these engines and trucks inside and out.
Here is a link to the album: Radix installation album
I have added descriptions to most of the pictures to help explain them. And on the videos, the first few of the truck sputtering and dying was because we forgot to cap off a vaccum line no longer used, once we plugged it up, it idled fine.
A little rundown on what was put on:
Radix 112
LS6 valley cover
CTS-V intercooler
Pump and reservoir
40k trans cooler
TR6 plugs (gapped at .035")
Still to go on:
Kenne Bell boost a pump
TransGo HD2 shift kit
and a Wheatley 93 retune
I will post back up once Wheatley gets me dialed in...
Thanks Matt

ahh the one liner comments, for captions that I could come up with for the pics !
yes, that was lots of hard work . . . hope you enjoy it. I still want to kick the crap out of the engineers for some of the design work. They have obviously never installed what they've designed.
