INstalled rear airbag what PSI

Hey guys I just got done putting in a rear airbag (passenger side of course) and I am wondering what PSI most people are running. I know the minimum is 5PSI and the Max is 35. His car is a manual if that matters. We put the PSI at 25, what are you guys running. Also I am about to start on my car I am also putting one in my passenger side. I have a auto, what PSI should I run. Thanks for any advice.

Start with 15psi.... then vary it between maybe 10-20psi to see where you get the best results.

Thanks Fred, I am trying everything to hook my car to the ground. I know you use spohn and so do I now. After looking at BMR Vs Spohn, in my opinion Spohn is the better quality. I have a torque arm, lower control arms, and re-location brackets from spohn and the quality is awsome. Now I have a passenger side airbag and with 17X11 with 315 Nitto 555R, so hopefully my problem will diminish

Thanks for your input.

You have basically the same setup I had at one point, except I ran BFG 315 DR's on the street. I was amazed that with 3.73 gears, a 3,000+ stall and 500HP that the tires would actually hook on the street. Going to 4.10's pushed it over the edge though....

I've since replaced the rear airbag with the Spohn "drag style" sway bar, in anticipation of trying to launch with a full 300-shot and 5,000rpm flash stall at 800 lb-ft.
