I got an idea, howbout blown talks to some on at magna, we come up with a duel radix intake ( like the dual whipple marine system ive seen ) and we bolt it onto my 8.1 and see if we can see 1000 hp, so if 2 can support 1000 than 1 should support 500 and that debate will be over and ill be a happly dual radix truck owner

I had basically every bolt on, cam, no heads, race gas, radical tune and a 50 shot and could only accomplish 475 RWHP. That was with a 3.0 pulley on it and seeing about 9 #s of boost. Personaly I dont think it can be done safely. You also said that your not going to over spin the blower. If you change the pulley at all then your basically going to be over spinning the blower. Good luck to you though and I hope it happens. I do know that the 03s and 04s are pulling alot better #s than the 99-02s for sure

Air through the motor=hp. the radix will not push enough air to make 500rwhp. You can have a heads and cam car make 450 to the tires and still only touch 500 with a radix cause it can barly force more air into the motor then it is already pullin through. A lot of people will tell me I am wrong but someone has to prove it I guess.

lol. I will do it with a T-76, give me a radix and i might give it a whirl. Don't get me wrong I love that blower. Nothin better for a bolt on to 450+rwhp or so. That and they sound damn cool once you start crankin on them and boy do they make some torque.

I agree with him. The Magnacharger is by for sure a great product. It is super easy to install, it comes with EVERYTHING you need to install it, it looks cool, sounds cool, and it works perfect for what it was intened for, and that is not to make a *** load of power.
