It blends in seamlessly. Good job. I eventually would like to get pods like that.

Yeah, that'* definetly a SWEET pillar pod setup. I was planning on something like that in the future.

But i'm with Doc, what'* up with the carb gauge? You need more PSI then that...

Nitros!!!

what system are you using? how hard was it to install? Have you discussed this before in another post?

Have you done the 1/4 with the nitros yet? what about impact to the system? and when do you push the button? first, second, third or fourht gear???
