STS(almost any turbo for that matter) hads way more lag than any supercharger cause it has to build boost and compression. a s/c has the belt to spin it the same RPM almost as quickly as the engine does.
IMO i would kind of like the lag turbo to slowly plant you in your seat like a jet on takeoff, when its building boost.
How much is the STS?
Does STS offer an intercooler kit or an oil cooler kit with the STS kit?
How involved is the radix?
air to water kind of sounds like more things to freeze in the New England winter, and more to boil in the summer.
how much is the complete kit?
Will it give me 400 RWHP with dependibility too(and no major mods)?
BTW i never can get my Signature to work so these are the pics I would like to post
I LOVE IT
can you let me know if you can see the pics please its been pissin me off thanks

The Radix will come in at about 400 or so at the wheels depending on application and other mods.
The water to air intercooler uses antifreeze so there is not an issue with freezing.
The kit will take you approx 8 hours to install depending on your mechanical knowledge.
You can purchase the kit from a few different Sponsors on the right----->
List price is $5125.00
The only thing you need to install the Radix is Tools.

My kit would cost $5500-$6k or so retail for all the goodies needed to make 500+rwhp (including new cam).
So more expensive but like I said before. Depends on what you want out of the truck.

It will void your warranty just as much as every other turbo or supercharger, you can however purchase the added drivetrain warranty for 200.00 from MagnaCharger that will cover you. You will however need to have it installed by a ASE certified mechanic.
A little food for thought:

This will apply to any aftermarket part you have installed on your vehicle.
