Well, I've got a Radix, not a Vortec or ATI, so it's not a centrifugal...my dyno shows increasing (not decreasing) HP all the way through 5200 RPMs...looks like this particular system begins dropping off at 4100 RPMs.

Not saying the STS system isn't great, it looks like solid gains over stock. I'm just wondering about STS's claims of not needing an intercooler for 5 psi, which is all that JERRY2500 is running at.

Cool, I wondered what an ECLB would do with the 6.0 and a few pounds of boost from a turbo. I have an '01 2500 ECLB with the 6.0. What size turbo are you running on it? The T-76? Thanks !

It just looks like a tuning thing there. There is a slight leveling right around 4100-4200rpm but then it starts picking back up again which is obvious by 4500rpm. Since out trucks generally make peak HP at about 5200rpm stock I don't think you can really draw many conclusions without seeing the full pull or graph.

I will still agree with you though Naked, that the kit would really benifit from an IC or meth even on the stock kit. They can put down similar #s to a Radix or other blower kit but COULD do more with some type of cooling.

At 5psi I generally see 150deg IATs at the end of a pull. That's without methanol. Still to hot for my taste.
