Ripped427 the pulley can be easily changed unlike the pulley on the Lightning the pulley on a Radix is keyed so changing it is easy.Magnuson pulleys normally have the size stamped on them.What size pulley are you running?I have found that a .2" smaller pulley gives 1 1/2 to 2lb more boost.

Re: 427SS Pictures
I am not sure if Ripped427 has changed his pulley or not, but the stock pulley on my SS (stock 6.0L) gets 7lbs boost on a cool morning. I am guessing he would have to change the pulley to help keep up with the deeper breathing 427.
But, until Ripped427 gets his 427 to the track, I still have the "fastest Silverado SS" bragging rights But once he does get it to the track, I will never see that title again

Somebody needs to try, I have had the "title" far longer that I thought possible I guess the summer weather is keeping folks away from the track.

1st The Radix is a very well engineered package, better engineered(for installation) than whipple or ATI (just my opinion) And I don't want a race car/truck I can drive daily. I wanted a daily driver I can race. So for now I'm sticking with Radix.
2nd Might be a little room for a larger lower, but blower speed is getting up there @ 6000rpm
3rd My guess on boost... between 5 & 6 mabey a little less.
