Radix Update, Tightened Radix Manifold bolts
well...... after Sunday at the truck meet and the fact that I should have retightened my Radix Intake Manifold Bolts a while ago, currently 750miles on my setup, I re-tightened them tonight. Took about 4 passes to get an even 89inlbs. Good-to-Go.
As for Power, my 32" tall 10+" wide tires are no match for the Radix's Torque output on my 6.0/4L80E Combo. I told the wife that I think this first set of Rear Tires will go fast, she said, "Enjoy Yourself". So I'll Probably step up to a 325/50-20 Rear for the next set. Then I'll have a 33" tall tire with 12" of tread. Looks like I'm in desperate need of a traction device as well. Got to make some calls on that.
The Radix is performorming flawlessly. The first gates belt seems to be a defect as the replacement has held up just fine during my own version of "test and re-test" and haul freakin ***
. Basically I'm operating it in its intended manner/purpose and the Radix is delivering the goods in spades
I won't say I'm easy on things, nor am I hard on them.
Thats about it for now, I'll be mounting up my HPTuners/Jotto Desk combo tomorrow for some data logging and stuff.

Isn't it cool when you finally find the problem and fix it. It's so much more rewarding that way.
