Default New pillar pods

Christian at bailys got these finished and shipped down to me. I'm trying to get over to calvo or leathal tomorrow and get them installed.
Here is the only slip that survived the cup holder in the vette.

The car is around 650 rwhp 10psi of boost, I'm thinking about going to 12-13psi with more meth for a few months. If we get busy at work I'm going to build a 416

Can't say I'm real thrilled with the way bailys did these. I think staggered would look 10x better.
Had delays someone at bailys forgot to put the wiring in with the pillar package. So it took another 2 days to get them. Then the harness that plugs from the wide band sensor to the Guage had the brown wire pulled out of the plug. So I now have to figure out on the plug If the white and green go together or green and red or is the green wire not used on the sensor, I can't tell if they jump inside the plug or not.

That looks awesome! I'm looking to do a single pod with a PLX, boost reading.

Did you send them your factory pieces? Do you mind sharing the cost and lead time?

Same questions here as well. Was a staggered option available?
