    i adjust boost inside the truck viva a EBC. i like it alot better. you can go from say 300hp to 800hp in a second. never get dirty worring about pullies or etc. never have to worry bout why boost dropped off cause you did heads or cam or intake. once the tune is set there isnt changing it for lower settings. you would make more power and mph higher just wont have that lowend as a rootsblower like yours but the topend rush is compariable to a sport bike. i run 15 to 18 and seen no issues with motor. i check all vitals after each time i take it out and nothing out of ordinary yet.

    I dont think Quick answered your basic question

    You control boost on an s/c by changing pullies to make it spin faster.
    You control boost on a turbo by allowing more exhaust to get the turbo to spin it faster.

    The wastegate lets you bypass exhaust around the turbo and thus control
    boost.
    The wastegate is plumb'd into the vac tubing to know when to open by
    seeing boost. By putting a simple control valve on that vac line you can
    instantly control how much boost the wastegate will let the turbo make.

    Say you put a 7psi spring in the wastegate. With control valve full open
    the WG spring will open and bypass exhasut when it sees 7psi. Close
    the valve a little and WG wont open till 10psi.

    Much easier to twist a little knob on a boost controller or push a button
    on an electronic boost controller than swapping pullies.

    Turbo is much more efficient for same boost levels than an S/C.
    Your top end would really come alive with a turbo over the Ratix.

    I bet you could sell your Radix used and only have to spend about another $2k
    to upgrade to a turbo.
    2002 Tahoe 4.8 - soon to be turbo'd - SOLD
    1989 Mustang - LX Vert - 351W-TT - 2inches of dust covering it
    2012 Raptor - 497rwhp at 10psi
    If you aint breaking - you aint going fast enough

    Superchargers, especially roots type, make a lot of low end torque though.
