Re: Wanting to go from static to bags (how does this setup sound?)

The Ridetech paddle valves are . . …. Basic. They function & do it well. No electronics to fail. The down sides are you have to run airline into the interior vs. solenoid actuated valves that only require wiring into the interior & they lack the benefit of a computer controlled set-ups auto-leveling/height feature.

Pick your poison. I didn't have ~2k to spend on a better quality air management system & just don't like the cheaper electronic set-ups + required maintenance.

The paddle valves are not much different than your Aire-Jax set-up (which look a lot like a set-up others used to use but had issues with). They're independent vs housed in a manifold.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
