I was having the same thoughts but Butch from the Avalance forum told me that a couple of people have tried with terminal results! Apparently the Radix unit seperated from the rest of the motor. I would like to investigate further, so if you have any info. please pm me.

Thanks

I can see the blower coming off if it had a blower sneeze but I only saw that in big blowers at hight boost levels. A couple friends are talking about getting some trucks with a Radix and we where thinking about putting a 100-150hp to it.

the guy that i know of the had a backfire and poped the blower off was running a wet kit thru the blower. i think he was at 100shot or maybe even larger. wasn't a huge deal for him, just had to replace the lower intake.

i would say keep it at 50 or less if your spraying thru the blower. if you could manage to get a DP set up on there you could spray as much as you like but i think there are a couple of injectors that would be a real tight fit for a DP kit.

Thats what I was thinking, I've been looking at some of the pix on a dissembled Radix and figured it would have a fuel distribution problem so a DP would be the only way to fly.
