Default Radix?

I just got install a radix on my 4.8 gmc sierra 2 weeks ago but know I want to swap a 6.0 engine into it and was woundering if it will work or not? Are the radix kits different from a 4.8 to a 6.0 or is it the same? Thank you.

Th epulley is the only difference. You will have to get a different pulley, but everything else will work. If I'm not mistaken you will have to go with a 3.1" pulley to have the same amount of boost.

You might want to think about a trasmission before a 6.0L. Or if you got the cash get the 6.0 with a 4l80e.

Thanks guys. I try to get a 4L80E before a push it hard, Im thinking about nitrous. But first I need alot of stuff before the nitrous. I need the stall and shift kit, also posi and gears. What do u think I should get that will not break with a lot of power?

Also how do the pulleys work are the samller ones better how about the 2.75 would it work?

Lone Chev sounds like good mods you got there, what is your time on the 1/4 mile?

Just start searching old threads. Everything you asked there has been went over and over and you will be hard pressed to get people to answer the same question they have answered a thousad times. I red posts for a year before I even became a member. Try searching for Hughes, Yank for stalls--shift kit, Transgo--eaton posi

Smaller pulleys just give you more boost. The radix from the factor is around 6psi. I think the rule of thumb is for every 1/4 inch is a pound of boost. But remember changing the pulley will void the magnacharger warrity. This is another thing that you can search for and find all kinds of answers.

et 13.01 this was on a cool night with slicks. If I get some 4:10's in it should see some 12's. And I don't mean to not give you the anwsers to all you questions but there are a lot more expereanced people on this form that have already explained it a lot better than I can.
