Looks like I'm going PCIII. What do I use to plug the CO2 holes on my new pipes?

There may bea limit to how long people can wait. Is it better to get something now that worksbut maybe doesn't have the features of something that is still unavailable? I suspect that would be a pretty split decision.

I prefera Thundermax but also want to get something soon for performance and to cool down the beast before summer heat sets in.

I gave up on waiting for the ThunderMax and got a PCIII. The PCII was problematic, got rid of it and did what's right. Gotta SERT and a DYNO tune and everything is running perfectly, love the extra power and having confidence that I'm not running too rich like what ususally happens witha PCIII.
