At the price of an intercooled s/c kit, Id rather just go with a turbocharged system. Like I said, 13s are fine. Its a daily driver.
Are the radix units self contained (oil)? To be honest, I'm even considering powerdyne. I just want a little more power.
I'll be running full length headers - backpressure + boost = boom. Residual gasses int he combustion chamber suck

The only problem I have had was keeping the tranny together. The motor loves the kind of boost you are going to get out of a radix, and like it was stated above you are going to need that intercooler. Hell most of the guys on here with intercooled versions are going to meth and looking for any way to keep iat's down to get more out of it. We all have a sickness that always seems to get worse. We all want more power and it seems like it never is enough. If you want a super reliable fi set up you cant beat the radix imo. If you leave the stock pully and tune on it you arent going to hurt anything, except mabey the tranny.

If not, just wait for the 112HH Radix kit. It's the new designed Radix kit. It will be released sometime soon. It will produce more boost than the current kits. It will be a more efficient blower from what is talked about it. It can be detuned or tuned for some serious HP & TQ.
They will also be offering a 122HH kit as well.
Just thought I'd inform you before you make your mind up.

I got a 120hp increase at the wheels with the stock set up. Like chevy6000 said if you are going to spend the money I would wait for the 122HH to come out. It will be a much better set up for the 6.0

I'm in no rush at all. I just started looking at mods and this is where I wanted to go.
Originally, I was going to do a cam, but I dont want the trade offs of big lopes, lost low end, lost gas milage, etc etc. I really only want another 75rwhp.
For the price of a Radix, why not turbo?
I'm still really interested in a 6L85E swap, just need to wait for electronics to do it.
