Thanks fellas. I'm real happy with the truck. Overall, its very mild unless you step on the gas. That 1.67 60' time really suprised me from my baby Yank 2600. Thats a tenth faster than I ever saw on nitrous when spraying out of the hole.

Damn, I just saw this.

Nice times Richard. That '60 is KILLER! Even if you did race a faster car/truck, from a stop they'd be playing some major catch up.

i am a little tired of all the naa sayers(illeged radix bashers) coments. i believe this all started when we once talked about the max potential of a radix and somehow it got turned into suposed radix bashing.

Brian... your company sells a bad *** product. big tex really has it working well , the best i ever got my whipple with a 6.0 was in the 12.7 range and this was with a little bit of good gas in the truck.

I didn't title this thread to continue the nay say this or bash that arguement. Just a simple fact that the Radix is a top quality product.

I'm very happy with it. Its much stronger than I expected after trying out a whipple in the past. I do think I can put down close to 500 rwhp with it. The torque speaks for itself by the great launches I get.

But on a downside, I'm already running the smallest pulley I can get. When I hit my shift points at 6350, I'm pushing the blower way past its most efficient range. So at this point, it works well, but there isn't any more to be had from this blower configuration.

I think that if I stripped my truck down for the track like you used to that I'd get close to seeing 11s. I might have to hire a jockey to do it though.
