I've decided on a Radix from BlownChevy, MA is just too far to drive. Even though a cross country would be nice . BlownChevy, how much would it cost to install a radix and a torque converter, and how many days would it take? Willows, where I live, is 90 miles north of Sacramento. Is there a break in period where I shouldn't drive the truck for extended amounts of time after a Radix/Torque Converter install?
Thanks

You have to remember that in that price is the cost of alot of research and development + the cost of tooling. You have to look at what you are getting with the Radix kit, not just a blower with some stand alone computer and some extra crap to "make" it work. You are getting a complete proven package that performs as well as it looks!

Tiburon: I like competition too, it keeps the blood pumping! Don’t always make your choice based on price alone.....Look into the future with the product you are buying and the retailer you are getting it from.
Well said BlownChevy!!!!!!

What's a little 6000 mile trip? Your both in CA so BlownChevy will be able to take care of you for the install. He is right about the whole pricing issue. Granted we all want to save some cash but customer service and support are other things to take into consideration. You also want to purchase from a company that is well estabilished in the industry and will be around in the future to help you with your needs.

Enjoy your new mod!

Hey, I like that penguin video

There are plenty of customers for both companys. Brain and I are on the board alot and we both promote a few of the same products. I think it's obvious that we both like the Radix kits To bad they won't have one for the big block trucks.
