yeah 20 gallon is a lot!!!! I wouldnt go more than 8 gallons on it. If you have 2 450's it will recoupe the air pretty quick but anything over 8 gallons is going to take a really long time to regain the air so you will spend a lot of time waiting on it to fill before you can play with it again

yeah man, im as 'legal' as i can get til i find somewhere to get a sticker for it, id like to adjust the alignment and drive line so i can drive it just a lil higher too.. i had to re bead the tires on saturday cause the chrome on the caddy rims was all chewed up along the beads and i kept loosin air out along the wheel.. but its all dtraight now.. id like to get some dual needle gauges for it soon and im gonna find out if my buddy has an 8gal layin around so i can replace the 5gal, but other then that its pretty straight, dont need much else other then some stuff that i wanna change out of personal preference
