So when should I plan my trip? When are these trucks going to be ready?

You know the Radix is just bolt on and go. What's with the STS trucks? Everybody seems to have one that's going to be ready "tomorrow."

LOL, the Radix is bolt-on and go.. Just not bol-on and go FAST. :p j/k

It's because most of the STS guys are freaks and start modding and can't stop! My Z71 was fine and never took that long except when I blew it up hahaha

The grey truck is going to go quickly but the Z71 needs to be finished first. The full paint job and then swap the converter out for a good one (the other one was bunk) and retune.

Maybe whitt1 can tell you how the Radix performs on large cubes. I think his tahoe is sporting a 402 with radix and has made some big power.

It would be great to see track times of forced induction 408's (of any persuasion), and dyno runs as well to see where they're making their power.

My Radix is maxed out with the 402 it only makes about 7lbs of boost.But it make tons of torque,responds instantly and runs great on pump priemium.The biggest problem I have is driveline breakage.But how many Tahoes can kill a Viper GTS on the street?I am interested in the new blower that Eaton is building for the new Cobra and Caddy that has a slightly longer rotor housing for added displacement,I think that would be the ideal street setup for a larger displacement motor.Tell Magnacharger,I have the perfect stealth vehicial to test the new blower when they get ready to Radix port the new blower.
