The shuttle also uses a mondo computer with a whopping RAM memory of 128K.

I thought NASA upgraded to a Commodore 64!

I ran pods on my 550 with good luck. #$%* for low end, but the mid range felt good & it revved for ever. But no rejet, just luck. Never put them on the 750.

The thing I like most about pods is that you get all the engineering/purist types telling you how much they suck. I've had good results with them but they do require rejetting.
