I think it's pretty close to 1:1 (flow to HP).

I thought air flow was measured in CFM (cubic feet per minute), not lbs, and that it was nearly parity (1:1 ratio) for CFM/HP?

this is fly wheel hp and asuming a proper tune, if you have 5deg of timing you wont be close to those numbers. also your maf tables have to be stock, if you mess with the tables then the rule of thumb no longer applies.

i hit 60lb's of air at about 5200rpm
gmcski see's the 60lb max at about 4300rpm i think

once you max the maf the only way to add fuel is with the PE tables, you add fuel based only on rpm. it works but isn't very consistant. if it warms up you will be rich and if it gets cold you will be leaner.

the maf reads it in gm/sec or lb/min. with my pcm the max it 60lb/min or 453gm/sec

Ah, okay, so I was told that it is gm/sec that corresponds nearly 1:1 for horsepower. Does that sound right?

Here are a few pics of the truck being discussed in this post.

Chris / Nick - I agree w/ parish8, I doubt that you've maxed out the MAF. Double check the speed limiter and any other ETC settings. I helped a buddy stick a 423 in an 03 escalade and it pulls hard the whole time on the stock MAF.

I want a 408......dammit

He runs the truck with both stock wheels and the big 22's. Here is a link to the video's if anyone hasn't seem them,...very impressive. I do know that on just the motor he has been in the mid 12's with the big wheels, and in the mid elevens (or better) on the big wheels with spray.

BIgTex, Speed limiter is off for sure. I had a little fun with a ricer on the local freeway here up to 130 mph, so no speed limiter. On motor only cars and truck with big cubes, we have never had this problem. Nor have we had this problem on all of the ATI blower cars that we have done. So we are kinda scratching our heads. Someone referenced 5 degrees of timing in there post...we have more than that in her. Also the truck is not going lean at the top end, we have been monitoring that with a wide band the whole time. I will keep you guy's posted. We are headed back to the track tonight. Stay tuned!

The Radix will make over 600 Flywheel HP from like 4800 up @ 5psi but its a pretty flat line. The intercooler also becomes a restriction at these levels. Flows like 980CFM if I rember correctly. I'll try and get a dyno sheet posted (Engine Dyno)

But peak #'s aren't where the Radix shines. It makes gobs of TQ on this motor I'd say probably close to 700 ftlbs@ the flywheel below 4,000 rpms. Spin the blower higher and shift sooner

With my old Radix setup it would log 60 plus lbs of Air @WOT

The Radix is a great setup but you can't treat it like a ATI and spin the motor like nuts.

Chris I'm looking forward to seeing your numbers from the Track
