yea youll still run low low 11's full weight on slicks with 500rwhp, the air bags no his car is for show so no traction on his setup but they do make drag bag kits they go for like 150 for the bag and they work and help alot with traction, i knew you were a medic or 11b i got the best of both worlds went to benning and fort sam i also WAS a medic

I don't see where the airbags are going to reduce traction. In fact, if he can control the front and rear seperatly I would think he could lower the pressure in the rear and get better weight transfer.

RE: Update on Project Bumboclaat
Damn I didn't realize there was so much talk about me in here, lol. I just read everything. How's the setup coming along now? In updates? I think the traction issue is my tires for sure. I'll need to upgrade to some DR's. I won't be running slicks, but will probably hit the track every now and then. I think the bags will help actually. I can lower the rear which will soften the bags up and raise the front to stiffen the bags. Should be great weight transfer. Ok, I'm tired, I need to get to bed. I've got someone coming tomorrow to pick up my old block I sold. The dude is coming from Pennsylvania. Yeah that's right. Him and a buddy are driving the 8-8-1/2 hr trip to pick it up.
