I know I would be.

As for anything in the works ... I couldn't say for sure, but I would think surely there is something. I hope they wouldn't be sitting happy with what they have now.

what is the difference between the radix and the mangacharger put on the vettes? is it just the name? just trying to not be confused.

not sure if this applies yet, but i know of two vettes one intercooled the other not. one is sitting at 460 the other is at 470 at the wheels. both are six speed cars. both are cammed with very small cams and they have full exhaust. nothing else. i figured 500 at the wheels with a magnuson was no big deal. is this not right or am i missing the requirements? thanks

500 RWHP IS no big deal for a Radix. There just hasn't been a whole lot of attempts at it with the Radix. Well, In our little slice of High Performance here in truck World anyway Also, believe it or not, many thought it was not possible, not sure why though. Words on a message board travel fast, I guess.

500rwhp is close to the limits though, especially with an automatic behind the engine.

I've looked at the lightning boards, and it seems like very few guys get much more than 475rwhp with 6-8lb pulleys and apten porting. There are a few with 500+, but it just seems like there would be a ton of guys with over 500rwhp if the 112 wasn't at it's limit.

There's a difference between the M112 and the MP112.

All it would take is money and cubes, 2 things I'm a little short on at the moment.

I've been over to those sights too and have been surprised at how HP those L's make.
There are many making 500+ rwhp. Hmm............funny.

Is there a significant flow difference between a ported M112 and a MP112?

I dunno about flow, but I know the MP is a lot more effecient, which it would have to flow better.
