Radix ordered
Yeah!! Ordered my Radix tonight! Also got an Autometer 2 gauge pod for boost, and fuel pressure, Transgo shift kit/Corvette servos, and Eaton posi unit. Would it be worth it to line up getting a catch can for my blown application? Any other suggestions?

Catch cans are always worth it. I sent one of my amw catch brackets to todd@prodyno to see if it worked with the Radix setup, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet (he must be busy selling all of those superchargers... hehe).
Anyway, I drained about 20 ml from my catch can after 2000 miles of driving, not a lot but not a little.

In response to a query I made a few months ago, I received this email from Todd at Accurate Machine Works....in it he talks about the possible need for a check valve in line with the catch can:
I wish someone would do this for a Radix application so we would have that knowledge here.
Hey Kevin,
Thanks for the interest in the catch can. As for the check valve, I added it to further help decrease pressure that can be pushed back into the
crankcase while under boost. The pcv itself is a check valve in essence, but I opted to add in an additional check valve on my personal turbo car. It’s
not a must have part, just one more way to help prevent unwanted crankcase pressure. I am using a simple check valve from McMaster Carr
(www.mcmaster.com) part # 7933k33. I’ve seen others use part # 7775k52 which will need barbed fittings. Hope this helps and if you have any
questions please feel free to call or email.
Best Regards,
Todd

Thanks, guys!! Can't wait! Although it might be a little while till I can do the install, as I'm working out of town. But...I'll get the trans beefed up, and the posi installed first, one weekend at a time. Man....I'm hooked now. Just want to get everything done in time to do the Hot Rod Power Tour again!
