Arrow Air Bag Question?

Wanting to know if this would help my car. Car seems to want to hook some times and other times not. Car is getting up on passenger side rear pretty good best 60ft. so far is 1.57 and this was spinning a little. I just want it to hook more consistant. Also what PSI do I run the bag at for optimum results at the track? Only suspenion mods are LCAs and SFCs with M/T drags with rim screws. Any info or comments would be great. Jason

An air big will help some, start out at 18-20lbs of air and go from there. But if you really want the car to come out straight you'll need to get an Anti-roll Drag sway bar, the car will leave nice and level witout unloading on the left side.

This might sound like a stupid question but: How do you add and release air in an airbag...at the track and the garage.

Thanks

Andy

It has a air valve just like your tires do and I mounted my valve just under neath and behind the liscense plate. THe air bag does help som but I have never tried to go higher than 12 psi.

The same way you do a tire,through a valve stem. He was asking about an air bag that go's inside your right rear coil spring.
