I have a street twin, denny's 3.5 aluminum HD with 1350 yolks, Moser 12, BMR RLCAs set at the bottom hole. When I installed the 12 bolt it changed the pinion geometery. You have to get that cured before anything else will work. If that is perfect, then airbags are the next step.

Tha's a bit of a guessing game. I run mine around 30psi and have no problems. Some other guys I know use 35, 22, and 27psi. Just try between 20 and 35 until you find the best one.

I run my airbag between 10 and 15 psi.

Unfortunately, I second the pinion angle. Its expensive, but my car was getting some serious wheel hop too.. One time it wheel hopped SO bad that it knocked the tranny out of 1st gear. I gave it a lil adjustment on the t/a and it isn't near as bad. It still has some, but I have LCA relocation brackets I haven't had welded on. Another issue I had with my car is if I don't grease the poly bushings every few weeks, it will start to gain a touch more wheelhop again, as well as get noisy. Keep those suckers greased or you'll have some bind.

Cheers,
