Re: Whipple or Radix?
I think I will be going with FLP
I had one built (1800 worth) at alocal shop. The guy made it shift so damn hard it derstroyed itself ... and I mean destroyed! After that, he rebuilt it again supposedly with the same parts, and this one started loosing 2nd gear. I will put it this way .. after I traded it off, the dealership sent me a warranty invoice (like they still think I own it) where they replaced 2nd clutch pack in it and some other stuff.
I say build it, or buy a tranny and be done with it.
I will admit .. I did drive it hard too. I think I should go to rehab sometimes the way my right foot spasms. :p

Re: Whipple or Radix?
I would not expect Whipple to EVER come out with a cooler. It is just a ploy so that some people will buy the Whipple in hopes an intercooler will come out soon.
For ease, I would say definately do with the Radix.
For power, I would say definately go with the Whipple and intercool it. Intercolling a Whipple is not an easy task though on their 5.3L kits

Re: Whipple or Radix?
I was down at whipple and have seen there intercooler setups. The first one they tried was all done a tested about a year ago. Then for some reason they junked the whole setup and started over. I know they have it malked up on a new motor, but i also think they are focusing on more important issues. I will keep you guys up to date on their progress.

We have an insider 
Thanks 408 stepside. I am glad to hear that they kind of have one in the works. Do you know why Whipple junked their first intercooler setup?
I agree with David also. Since the introduction of the Radix, Whipple sales have got to be a little bit hurt. I think it would take about a week or less to come up with a very good perfoming intercooler for the 4.8,5.3,and6.0L applications.
