for the dragstrip, put about ~15-20 in the pass side bag, and keep the drivers side bag at the min (5).

I used to set them up like this. 5# in the left and 10# in the right. Then I do a burnout in the water box. If it wants to twist I add more air in the right until it stops wanting to come around. I leave it there. Usually that works out to somewhere between 10-15# in the right. The left I leave at 5#.

Speaking of air bags I still have my two but I need the lines and schrader valves. Anyone have a line on them? I'm not sure where to look for them.

mine look to be as simple as vacuum lines hooked up to a valve stem im sure you can make something with some double ended barbed fittings and some vacuum line with and old steel valve stem., my lines look to be home made but they do the job
