found this of one of those other 
sites 
.
"As far as mods go, everything is home ported including the Eaton. Crower Stage II cams. 14.5 lbs of boost from a 2# upper and an 8# lower. Home built short block with Eagle rods and JE pistons. Stepped headers with home built 3" exhaust. Plus your standard bolt ons. "
this is a home ported m112 blower, not sure if a unmodified mp112 could get to 500rwhp but it looks like it might just make it.
now it is time for riped427 to go pull something like 575rwhp

i see no reason why the RADIX wouldn't be able to make the 600RWHP in a properly built 6.0 with good tuning etc. Parish, you claimed to be making over 700RWHP when you had your old truck, and even with a 100 shot that would put you around 575-600 rwhp with just the whipple and major tuning and the RADIX appears to be far superior to the whipple to me in that it is intercooled etc. i could be wrong though.

slow, did you look at the links above 
, you see no reason cause you didn't look.
on my last truck my ET and weight showed a calculated HP or 595rwhp and that was with the nitrous. my best ET without the nitrous shows a calculated hp of 480rwhp

i didn't look...i've seen it all before. do you honestly think the RADIX can't make 600 on a well built 6.0 with good heads and cam with tuning, proper fuel, bolt ons etc?? get real man, there's trucks with small cam and headers and no other mods with 8psi making right at 500 RWHP and 550 RWTQ, why wouldn't a 6.0 with a bad *** setup and more boost be able to do it? IT WOULD

ok, if you made 600 with boost AND nitrous, take away the 75-100 for nitrous and you're back around 500 on boost. ok, say that 600 rwhp truck Brian it is a 6.0 LIKE YOU HAD with a cam, heads, full fuels system, professional tuning, full bolt ons, honestly, you more than anyone should be able to see where it could happen. the mods that the magnacharger truck has that your's didn't have more than make up for the amount that you were spraying on your's.

i dont know why i am even responding to you since you didn't even bother to read the posts or look at the links above. first show me the 500rwhp radix.
horse power is air flow, by looking at the airflow in the charts above it is crystal clear that the radix shouldn't be able to make over 500rwhp, it is posiable that i dont understnd the charts or that there is more to it than i think but untill somone puts down more than 500RWHP with a stock radix blower then i have to believe that i am reading those charts corectly.

I'm not saying it can't but, from the looks of the charts it would really be pushing on it HARD to make 600rwhp. It'd probably have to be overspun to do so. It's not about what setup the blower goes on. If the actual blower can only flow so much air it doesn't matter if you put it on a 4.8L or a 7.0L the blower is the limiting factor.
Here is an example.
If you have a N/A motor making 550rwhp and put a blower on it that is only capable of flowing enough air for 550rwhp you won't gain anything from the blower. The motor setup does NOT determine airflow the blower pulleys do. The motor setup only affects what psi that airflow occurs at.
