also think about how much torque a semi truck has to use to get started

Yea it didnt really make sense to me, but he said he did alot of resurce on it and thats what everyone said. But if you have enough power to twist chassy wouldnt that be enough to blow bags?

you odnt just blow bags with torque, there is more stress on the bags by just driving it and hitting a big wanus pothole than the acceleration force given by the V8 torque

you'll snap or bend a 1inch dom 4link bar before you blow an air spring by stomping on a 400hp gas pedal, thats what im trying to say

Yea man never believe hear say information lol

I couldn't find a video of this truck but here is another v8 powered mini on bags and body dropped.

Image

and here is the motor its so beautiful :tear:

Image

Quoted from a magazine this motor puts out around 450hp

I'm sure thats enough hp to twist a frame to, but any frame can twist if its not built to handle the extra power.

Also for reference to get the idea of some load capabilities at different pressures check out this chart on this website click this link http://www.slamspecialties.com and click on "Compare" pretty usefull information. Note: that chart only goes up to 80psi
