Turbo is what you need! You couldn't go wrong with an STS!

you might just be better off selling your radix and trying to get the other, the radix is great but it seems difficult to get it to feed a large cube motor ( ok blown I know about the 427 but u have to admit others havent had the same luck )

If you dont have the money right now then I would recomend that you run N/A on the 420 till you get what you want. The Radix will be more of a restriction on that motor than it would help, and make the tuning pretty hard also. Im not a big fan of the STS turbo kit. So I would either sell the Radix and get what you want whether its ATI or STS or a normal turbo set up. Just my .02

yeah turbo is the way to go its going to have to wait this stroker is reallly draining me i tink i will run n/a till i get the bucks for the turbo who needs a radix with only 1600 miles on its brand new still i hate to get rid of it it does what its meant to do so well lol but its time to step up to a big boy! who ever whats it i will take two grand cash for it will be taking it off as soon as the 420 is ready it has the 3.0 pulley on it ooh and btw 2tone how does your truck run with the 408 stroker and ati it has to be wicked huh.

yeah i would ditch the radix all together. also it might not work good with a cam that you choose for that 420. I like the idea of a turbo alot, but i'm not a huge fan of the sts with no intercooler, personally i think parish8 turbo system is far superior to the sts, being mount in the engine and having an air to water intercooler. When i get my 383 in my truck the only power adders i am considering now are the front mount turbo system and the ati, i think the ati d1sc head unit along with a nice intercooler with about 15psi worth of boost on a stroked forged internals motor would be nice.

Just the other day you could not afford slicks and CalTracs, about 650-700.00 on the high side. Now you have a 402 on order?

Sorry man, I just dont belive you.
