Air vs. Electric #1 stop?

s/gfairlane · 11-02-2009, 08:16 AM

I'm in the market for new stop for my new car, I've narrowed it down to the #1 stop. I just can't decide air or electric. Just trying to get opinions. It's a door car, so I was thinking air for controlling opening rate, but I heard that can cause inconsistency, so i was somewhat unsure, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Call Biondo Racing Products... they will explain the pros and cons of both systems... my Roadster was already set up with an in-line air system and I put a #1 Stop on with no problems in consistency at all... much better than what I had...

I like air vs elec. You can set the closing & opening rate. You can't do that with elec. I don't let the pressure in the bottle get below 500psi.

Like Lou, I also use air but I also have an air shifter..........And carry an extra air bottle in the trailer.
