Good point. But remember you can adjust the pressure from 0 pressure to as high as 25 psi MAX until you find the sweet spot. Then once you do, that's when you throw on a set of drag radials and really have some fun.
Also, I was dropping the hammer around 4000+ rpms. I would never drop it that high at the track. Normally I'm between 1500 to 2000 rpms. Plus I have a 6 speed which really take some practice for a good launch.
Where did you order Drag Bags & are they BMR, Pedders or what?
didn't know that they had a drag spring that with 0 raise, that one would be more to my likeing. thanx. looking to get the ripshifter while I'm at speed Inc. see you have one too. did you swap out the clutch yet and if so with what?
See, you learn something new every day No I haven't changed the clutch. I may later on down the road but I'm not sure it's necessary as of now.

ya it's easy to learn stuff, when you don't know sh**. I been out of the gear game for too long. dam glade to be back. miss turning wrenches. all though I did rebuild a 3.4 out of a grand am 2 years ago, that was more like work then moding. just helping a friend. last time I had real fun was when I built a 350 4 bolt main for my 87 reagel back in around 93.
I did take off the springs. It's just that the Pedders springs are shorter and a bit thicker in diameter than the stock ones. So compressing the bags enough to get them through the coils was a PITA. But well worth it ($99 shipped to my door).
finaly picked mine up 95. OTD. . fig I pick them up, to have them faster. plus since I live in the same state, had to pay tax no mader what. if I could wait I have a friend I WI . with free shiping and no tax would of been cheaper. will be sending the shifter up to him. any way, have my springs held for me and will get them on sat. 81 each. hoping to install on sunday. will post back on my out come. thanx again for your info
i'd use two separate valves. in a straight line it's not too big of a deal altho i know some use different pressures on the left and right side to make up for torque. when you corner tho you for sure don't want the air going from one bag to the other. i'm getting mine tomorrow and will install them this weekend. just my 2 cents.
