I know a lot of you guys have asked about drag strip testing, unfortunately with our show schedule I have not had the chance to get to the track long enough to do the extensive like I would like to. So here is the next best thing to hold you over.
I know there were a few months time between testing springs and air suspension, so yes track temps are different as well as ambient temps. However nothing was added to this car between the best run on springs and the first run on air suspension besides our suspension. This test was by no means perfect, but it does give you a glimpse of what can be done running air suspension at the drag strip.
Just by tweaking the ride height and damping on our air suspension 60ft time went from 1.77 to 1.58. The best 60ft time on springs was 1.78. What this should show you is that with our system you can adjust the suspension to really apply the power without loosing traction where it counts. Literally with the push of a button you can increase your spring rate and with the twist of a knob you can adjust the damping of the shocks and struts.
Again this test is not in perfect conditions, but hopefully it gives you at least some things to think about!
