I'm trying to get my 60' times and overall ET down wirh my 1980 Malibu Classic. My question is would an airbag setup in my stock rear suspension help lower my ET's and 60' times?

-1 or 2 airbags? (If 1 airbag, which side?)

-How much air pressure in them?

Thanks for your help.

We used one in the right rear to help w/ body roll. It's been awhile since we did it, but seems like 8-10 pounds of pressure was where it ended up being. I was told to keep adding air until the car drove to the left & then go abck to the lower psi.

Never ran the car w/o the bags

we have ran one in the right rear for a couple years with about 12-14 lbs. seems to help the car launch straight if nothing else.

When i went from no bag to adding the bag it trimmed a lil off my 60. i dont remember exactly how much. as of right now i cut 1.55 60s with stock arms, stock springs, junk shocks and an air bag at 15psi. i am still twisting up though...
