Dont expect the pistons to last too long when pushin that kind of power. Then you have to go and build a forged short block for the stupid thing and throw some nos on it.

i have an '03 rcsb 4wd with the 4.8 and the intercooled radix. pre-radix dyno (mods then were jba headers, flowmaster 70 exhaust, k/n air filter, and electric fans) got 240 rwhp and 250 torque. post radix was 314 rwhp and 320 torque, a bit on the low side, if you ask me. two possible factors for the low numbers: a very modest 3.7" pulley on the blower, and the fm70's are choking the system. i had problems with them at 4000+ rpms when n/a, and now with the blower, it has gotten worse. planning to go to magnaflows.
