General consensus seems to be radix which I definately agree with, however, you will pay for the best. 5K seems to be the going rate, then another grand if you arent so mechanically inclined.

I don't want to sound like I'm knocking other SC's or trying to be different, but I have heard a lot about the Kenne Bell SC, are they really as good as they say or is this all talk from the company?

Not knocking at all! It is important to research all of your options. The Kenne Bell is not intercooled and does not leave much room for added boost or improvement. I have had experiance with them in the past and their customer service has little to be desired. I would suggest researching all of the kits and making a descision based on your findings. If possibe drive trucks that have the kits installed and see what you like the best.

Whipple and Kenne Bell are both twin screws, which are the most efficient compressors. But, unless you are going to intercool, tune, and replace the injectors, the Radix is the best way to go.
Moral: unless you want to build a super bad Whipple, Radix is the way to go.

I might be up in that area sometime, we've got some friends that live in the Calabasas area that we visit from time to time.
Do any of the performance retailers that support or frequent this forum (which btw is awesome) offer military discounts?
