Anybody using air shifting

[B3422w5]

Where did you mount your bottle?
Do you like it regards more consistency
Do’s and Dont’s
How long do the 10oz bottles last
Do you turn the bottle on after the burnout, then turn it off after the pass

Mounted on rollcage within reach strapped in. 10 Bottle lasts me more than a season. I turn the bottle on in the morning and off when loading in trailer to go home. This is all drag race only, not street driving.

We leave the bottle on all the time on the SS Duster.
The bottle last two years and a huge number of races.
It definitely helps the consistency of the runs!

Looking at the Biondo setup for reverse manual turbo action 3 speed setup. With an rpm switch they offer as well.

We adjust the RPM shift point for how fast we want
the car to perform. We play our card pretty close to the
vest unless we hit a Heads Up race. Then we turn the wick up
and let the Duster EAT!

I have two bottles…. but have only refilled one once. My bottle is mounted within reach so I can turn it off/on at will. I’m pretty much a hobby racer so saying the bottle has been in there for three years isn’t saying much. Used the ACD shift timer for years, but switched to the Digital Delay unit when I rewired the car. The air shift is much more consistent on my 1-2 shift for sure.

Thanks for the info Jay.
I didn’t know you could mount the bottle horizontally. I am looking to use the digital delay Rpm controller too.
Thinking it will help my deal, and make it easier, especially with all the 1/8 racing, to pay more attention to my opponent and less driving/ shifting the car.
Any input on how much lag you see between where you have the rpm set and where it actually shifts? Buddy told me even with air, the 1-2 shift can be 200-300 different than what you think it is… in other words, he had to set it at 67/6800 to have it actually shift where he wanted it at 7k, obviously even more it you are shifting it yourself. I don’t have playback or data loggin, so was surprised to hear that.

There was a guy at Bithlo racetrack In Orlando that everyone called Mr Consistently who won almost every week. He had all the electronics and an air shifter.

This is how mounted the bottle.
I like that it’s consistent.
Bottle lasts forever.
I turn bottle on in the staging lanes and off on the return road. I’m OCD and like to have a pattern so I don’t forget anything.
