few questions about air bags... slammed67?

Hey,
I am thinking of taking my 67' 4x4 project and putting it on a 2wd frame then dropping it down. Just curious to what kind of drop you are getting with putting in the air bags. I know the 4/6 drop is a popular one. But, what is a air bag set up equal to... when it's aired up.
If i go ahead with this... it will be a 67' shortbed fleetside, with trailing arms. It would actually look alot like slammeded truck i would think... Which i might add looks like a beautful truck.
Also, how would the air bags handle 400 HP. I might have a lead on a engine from a 99 firebird 5.7 i think... Not to upon on the new chev engines... but i would hope to hook that to an auto somehow if it can be done... turbo 400 i would think.
I am also hoping to find a way to go all wheel disc brakes, maybe using the 99 firebird stuff. the car is a roll wreck... so every panel is full of dents, and there was no issurance on it... so it was a right off...

i would like to find out about the air bags a little more though, so i can plan this out a little better than the first time i started this project as a 4x...
I was gonna give up... but i gotta finish this chevy.

With bags you can almost get back to stock height. I was able to on my truck. If you need bags let me know. I can hook up bags. Checkout my website www.dragginbycustoms.com- its not finished yet but you can get the point

I have full bagged truck over 4yrs now with a little over 400hp, and no problems. My setup will put you back to an inch over stock. Check my sig I got em too.
I attache a pic of full up and down and a side to side. Since these pics I have reworked the suspension and got another 1.5" of drop, so I can tuck more 20's hehe
