I am building a decent combo...should make in the 500 rwhp on motor, 650 rwhp on n2o running thru a TH400 and 12 bolt. This combo will be using a t-brake and 4500-5000 rpm launches.

At what point does one take out the air bag?

I really don't want to because I already know that in 2-3 years, I am swapping the combo and going to run a t-trim, foot brake setup, basically a lot more umph, but try to be more streetable...so I would like to keep it for that.

ANy thoughts?

 

If you want to be streetable you need an airbag for inspection. If you are gonna be a track car take that thing out.

 

i have never thought about this, but is there any way the airbag would deploy if you launched that hard? By the way, have you thought about a 9 inch rear with a locker for that thing? Seems like it would fit your needs a little better.

 

A few people's airbags have deployed at the track. You can always take it out temporarily. Just store it some place safe/dry and reuse it later on when you need it.

 

Kill the air bag until inspection time.

 

I took mine out just curious but what kind of inspection are you guys refering to

Thanks

State inspection. I have mine unplugged through the Fuse and SIR plug. I don't trust something that is 15 years old.

 

EBAY it

 

So your states inspect for even the airbag, thats alittle too far.

 

What I am curious about is how guys in old Muscle cars get around that...

 

It isnt required unless it was required by law at the time the car was produced.

 

just depends on the state

 

your safety.. toss it or keep it?

 

Your caging the car and 5 point harnesses - so - what difference is an airbag really going to make???

 

If you put a cage in a car, take it out. Airbag can blow you into your rollbar and kill you instantly.
