zippy Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 500whp for 5k is going to be tough, especially with an awd. if you shop smart and buy stuff used you could probably come close. (assuming you do your own work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIjay Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I was in your shoes about 3 months ago... I went with the Radix. I wouldn't want to drive without one now. Brings out a new beast in the truck. This was my first engine upgrade I have ever done to anything. It's a very simple kit and directions are ok.. (was missing something about pluggin in a fuse). You can find that on the forum somewhere. The first time you put your foot to the gas.. you'll know.. money well spent... justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haul@ss Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Yeah, from what ive read, the best application for you sounds like the radix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenKey Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 I'd say at the crank, plausible. At the wheels, nearly impossible unless you found someone nearly giving stuff away. I guess you could add a few things then do a 150 shot. That may get you close. Assuming a 20% loss to the wheels, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4nash Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 i would go with a head and cam setup along with a shift kit, good tune and a intake swap over to the 90mm tb, and a 3000 stall. and then go with some n2o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1slow01z71 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Funny thing everyone pushes the radix but in my Z with a 5.3 in it I beat a radix fed SSS with us both having basically the same mods but with me having a 150 shot for that race. Nitrous owns the street IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
