How long of a install to expect? How complete is the kit? Why would you choose this kit over any other kit available?
Thanks again
Thanks again

The radix will make more of a gain then any of the setups with what it comes with. It is 100%complete, and it even comes with a programmer to retune your truck so that you don't have to worry about it. It is claimed to be a 8 to 12 hour install. Most tests that I have seen with it, show a 360 to 375 hp at the rear wheels with no other modifications. That is about 450 to 475 hp at the crank. That is awesome. Only problem, is that once you go anything over 100hp gain, you will have to beef up the rear end, and get a performance build for your transmission to handle the power levels. So altogether you are looking at about $8000.00 for it, and your truck to be able to handle that power all day without problems.

Would you beleive a stock internals Tahoe that will embarrass Mustang GTs,beats Ford Lightnings and has outrun a M5.My Magnacharged Tahoe turned 13.28@101mph at the track.I'm running ASMs and a Yank 3000 with the Magnacharger at 5500lbs the truck is a beast.Enough said.

The Procharger intercooled system is much cheaper, gives similar gains, but needs custom tuning, that can give you an edge if done correctly!

the problem w/ centrifigals is the boost is RPM dependant. you don't gain any low/mid power like the roots/screw compressors do. thats why centrifigals are more common in cars. the heavier the vehicle the more the low/mid boost makes a difference. I
