Anything can be done. No reason why you can't build a suspension to handle big HP numbers and lay out. May no be easy, but it can be done.

Think of it this way. Air suspension is really no different than a metal spring suspension in that it's function is to support the weight of the vehicle. Your drivetrain and 4 link is what takes most of the abuse when transferring the power to the ground. Air suspension is nice since it's easier to adjust your spring rates versus a metal spring suspension. We have a handful of guys using our air suspensions on purpose built drag race cars and they love it.

Check out the video link. this is one of the quicker, higher HP cars that is running our suspension.
