1/4"?

just how damn slow is 1/4" air? ive got a 73 crew cab that im bagging and dont want things too fast, just a descent rise/drop time that is smooth. maybe i should just go with 3/8" valves and 1/2" line over 1/4" manual???
 
maybe someone could point me to some vids with known setup sizes?

Hi Joe i would go with a 3/8 valve and 3/8 line.Trust me 1/4" is way to slow i had 1/4" on my fullsize extened cab and within a year i put 3/8 on it you will be much more happy.

Since there is minimal price increase when going 1/4, 3/8 or even 1/2. I would go with at least 3/8. you can always put in speed controls, you can't make the valves/line bigger. I would do 3/8 valves, 1/2 line, then put speed controls on your dumps. just have to make sure you're system stays clean because those things can cause some junk build up if you use steel tanks and don't have a water trap

Check out our Slow N Low kit:http://www.streetsource.com/forum/topic.aspx?topic_id=115415&Page=1 We could also upgrade it to 3/8" with adjustablel slow downs for ya

Edited: 2/10/2010 10:57:17 PM by coptic120I dont know how to post this video from you tube so just copy and paste. Its 1/4" valves dropping on lifting to give you an idea. I love 1/4"!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4mH0RTf_cE

coptic thats pretty sweet but i think i need a little more speed myself. just dont want it poppin up down violently.

if you already have 1/4" valves run 3/8" air line to maximize the flow and that would be a decent setup. with 3/8" valves run 1/2" lines but it will be fast

<--- Has 1/4" manuals & LOVES them.
