Radix has a smaller compressor than the Whipple does and the Radix is intercooled. Whipple is also a twin screw setup vs the Radix is a modified roots style.
If I had my choice it'd be a Radix setup with a big Whipple compressor...I think it's made by Lyshome (sp?). Intercooled, big injectors, etc.

It's actually a Holden Monaro not a GTO but you guys probably already knew that.

On the homepage of that site you can see the coolant lines running out the intake/intercooler. It should fit in a truck but, the drive setup would need to be redone I'm guessing. Thinking about going back to a Whipple? 
Whipple sells longer blower drive snouts so something like the current RADIX drive setup could probably be made.

That's a lot of cash for a blower, but it is badass!
