If you slap a RADIX kit on the GM trucks, and put 8-9 psi (isn't that what the L has stock?) on them, I think the stock L's would have thier hands full.

I have to agree the L's are badass off the showroom and they are fast-but you take a chevy slap on a radix run 7.5-8.5lbs boost and the lightning will be surprised-when I do my install im gonna run my buddy in his lightning(its stock for now)and mine wont be nothing more than a 6.0 with a radix at stock boost-I will post up and let you know what happens this will be a good comparison.

MP112 has some designs on it that has better effeincy. The casing is a little smoother and a little better flowing as well as some rotor design differences. The MP112 is a superior blower in the end.
The RADIX advertises 7psi, but most of the time you will see anywhere from 6-7.5 on average.
I've heard BlwonChevy (the MagnaCharger dood) say that he's seen some of his precious custumers from ProjectR with over 100k on a RADIX'd truck, all else stock and they were still running strong.

i dont really think there is much diference between a m112 and a mp112. i know they made some changes but for some reason i just dont believe the changes made much diference.
as far as durability goes i think chevy is doing ok there. i put about 10k extremely hard miles on the 6.0 and it ran find till i had a nitrous mishap that motor had 50k+ on it when it went in. i have never heard of anyone wearing a motor out.
if the tune is reasonablely close i think you would get well over 100k with a blown gen3.
