I used 1/2'' line with about 5' of run to the bag and it takes about .5 seconds...

...I would use 3/8's as a happy medium doing it over. I got 1/2'' valves and just stuck 1/2'' line on them.....seemed consistent when I didnt know what was up.

I would rather pull up to the stop light and be rolling lower then the other guy. Not jumping around, trying to have a dance off. That's just my opinion though...

NO KIDDING!!!!! See the first response above This is not an exaggeration at all!!!

... ya no doubt!!!!!!!

Here is something else to keep in mind about air set-ups that I learned. I placed my valves all the way in the rear just behing the back bumper. 1/2'' with 1/2'' line. The front has approx 10' of line which eats quite a volume of air....this helps with the control. But, as stated above, the rear lines are only about 5' long to the rear bags. When I make an adjustment to the rear it hits so hard it will shake a person in the seat. I tap the switch as lightly as I can. If I dont, my 'burb looks like a sub doing an emergency dive!!!

Just thought I would share my experiences.
