Question Drag racers with a RR air bag

Is it worth the money? How much did it cut off on your 60'?

Thanks.

I did and so no significant reduction. I tried different psi and it didn't seem to work. Now I run the QA1's in the rear and they offer better control.

I have one but it has been there since the beginning,seems to like 10 to 14 lbs depending on traction and shock setup.If I had a drag roll bar I would not use it
but I don't want to make that compromise on this car yet.

Benny why didn't you just ask the "other" board. :wink: We didn't see That much difference in Guidos car and I agree with everyone else an anti roll bar would help more with your car.

I was having a problem last season with the car yanking the drivers side and not launching real straight. Instead of bagging the RR I went to a 1" Sphon sway bar (street bar), I tightened it down with the suspension unloaded to help preload it and the car launches straight and even now.
