Default The Radix & Vette Servo Is Installed

WoW!

Man when she hits second it feels like the truck tries to lunge off the ground, pulling hard to third and shifts just as hard. I'm worried about the seat backs letting go.
I think the 3.42's and the locker will not let her smoke the tires but they do grind off with a nice holeshot.
When I got on I-75 I put her on 75 mph and reset the average mpg and she leveled off at 20.2 mpg in 30 miles. Nice, Nice, Nice.
I got it just as the Dyno shop closed. I'll be down there next week for the final runs.
The foam was sprayed in and she is VERY quiet inside the cab under boost. I does sound good! It dominates the Corsa in-cab noise. A nice balance of both.

Congrats on the new found power. There is nothing like forced induction to put a big smile on your face.

Sounds like you are pleased.I would not want to change the gear ratio for your set-up,as you know FI likes tall gears ,all the torque the radix makes gets used with the taller gear,maybe a 2600 stall if you want to roast the tires,but I bet you maximize the launch if you are on the brink of roasting them.Dyno #s?

Actually turbos like tall gears. superchargers tend to do better with lower gears.
