stock RADIX???? since when were they stock material....dude, Brian just told you that that truck in Cali put down 600 RWHP not 500. you made more power with the whipple than anyone thought you could, so why are you being so closed minded about the ability of the RADIX? i have no preference between the RADIX or whipple, i personally am looking into a full D1-SC setup for my 375, it's all personal preference. i guess what i'm saying is why do you think Brian would lie about that truck making 600RWHP??? that's pretty much what you're saying by calling bs on the RADIX's ability.

i did read the post, YOU read what i wrote idiot. you called BS on what Brian said even though he had no proof. NOONE ever called bs when you said you were making 600rwhp with a blower and nitrous, even though you NEVER had any kind of dyno chart or anything of the kind. sometimes things just happen.

riped427 has by far the best chance of proving the charts wrong and i hope he does. he said he pulled ~450rwhp in his c5 NA. now add the radix even at 6psi and he should be pushing 600rwhp if the blower isn't maxed.
i can't wait to see his charts

I believe when he says stock radix, that he means non-ported blower. There is a lot of power and flow to be found in good porting of an eaton inlet and outlet as well as proper lobe timing.

Why are we worried so much about How much horsepower it puts out anyway. It takes torque to get these things going to begin with right? That is why a torque converter is so good right? The whipple may be a more efficient supercharger but with the way that they sell them they suck. Anyone getting some real power out of them has to ditch the fmu and reprogram anyway. out of the box the radix provides the best setup. kenny bell is pretty much a ford man anyway, so It is my opinion that they just havent got enough experience with the chevrolet world yet to provide good tuning, although the supercharger may be able to handle the horsepower. I myself would just like to pay the price for the thing in the first place, install it and be finished as far as tuning goes, so In my opinion the radix does just that. Same thing with nitrous, shoot it off of the bottom, and thats where you gain your time. I't doesnt really work well spraying as you get on up the track. Nitrous has a tremendous torque spike, and that is what moves you on up there quicker.

With what though? He says he posted the results...where are they?
Not saying I don't think it's possible, just that I don't see anything over 490 which is pretty damn close to 500rwhp anyway...
