High Horsepower - Air Suspension Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72c10step · 09-18-2003, 11:43 AM

The plans for my 72 Chevy in a couple of years include a 700 HP motor (not sure which yet, torn between three at the moment), and an air bag suspension. I was wondering if an air bag suspension would handle good with this kind of power. I'd like to occasionally take it to the dragstrip, and would like it to handle well in the corners. I'll have swaybars front and rear also. If the suspension handles good, what should the settings be (bag pressure, ride height, etc.) be for each case, cruising, drag racing, and cornering?
