What is the benefit of turning off the air ride?

Good info to know...
Also the compressor is a high load electrical device.
By turning it off, you will decrease the electrical load on your car, leaving more voltage available for things like "fuel pump" and "coils".
It might not be ALOT, but.. every little bit helps.
how much can shutting it off actually get you?
I know I have ran my "quickest pass" of the day with my foot planted firmly on the brakes {shakes head in a I lost THAT race manner)The Mark VIII front bumper valance sits low enough to trip the beams if you stab the brake pedal in the lights, or "dump".
You guys wont see any more time slips from me in my 94 unless I deciede to replace the motor, install some gears, and get hsome sticky tires...other than that, I already know how slow it is
a seasoned bracket racer will often line up next to the competition in the staging lanes, get out, and make sure they have "the stripe" position on the car they are racing...they will then get back in their car behind the wheel, sit back as if in 'race mode' and line up a part of the other car with a part of their car, the view out the window...for example(Tommy, I know you KNOW...but others might not)...if you park next to a car at a stop light, and wish to "take the stripe", glance over at their car, and line up their side view mirror with something on your car's peripheral...some racers use a diaginal pin stripe down their side glass...they'll mark a spot with a sharpie in the staging lanes on their glass diagonal line as it lines up with a part on the competiton's car...they will actually try to line that up as they near the beams so as to be "parked" but in position to take the stripe...
