Haha ya that sucks when it jells up it gets around 5 degees in Neb. Which I just add a little fuel additive to it and have no trouble. Ic you don't have any injectors yet they sure do make a difference in hp. I think im going to see wat my gauge looks like and then go from there it should be in by Thursday.

he said his guage is mechanical and no you dont need FP banjo bolt like i said before 3/8in tee to 1/4in reducer to 1/8in reducer. you have to cut the airdogs fuel line to put tee in on the inline going to VP44
