Are there performance gains with a bonnet vent?
Performance gains are possible with the addition of bonnet vents. Warm air really does kill performance. This is due to the air intake temperatures being hot and air at high temperatures carries less oxygen.
Why does my car have vents under the bonnet?
This is due to the air intake temperatures being hot and air at high temperatures carries less oxygen. When driving an engine hard the under bonnet temperatures quickly build up and the engine has no choice but to suck this air in reducing your power.
What is the pressure of the bonnet of a relief valve?
In a conventional relief valve, the bonnet pressure is equal to the downstream pressure, while in a properly vented balanced-bellows relief valve, the bonnet pressure is atmospheric pressure.
When to use bonnea balanced bellows relief valve?
BonneA balanced-bellows relief valve may be used when the relief valve discharges to a collection header instead of directly to the atmosphere. In a conventional relief valve, the bonnet pressure is equal to the downstream pressure, while in a properly vented balanced-bellows relief valve, the bonnet pressure is atmospheric pressure.

Do you always have to keep the air springs inflated?
Contact Air Lift via email here or call (800) 248-0892. Do I always have to keep the air springs inflated? How much pressure do I need? Yes, you should always maintain the recommended minimum air pressure of 5 PSI, even if your vehicle isn’t loaded. This keeps the air springs “in shape” and able to perform without rubbing or wearing.
When to increase air pressure in air springs?
If your vehicle is bouncing up and down slowly because the load is too heavy for what the suspension can handle. If this is the case, you want to increase the air pressure in your air springs. If the vehicle bounces fast and shallow, you should try decreasing the pressure in the air springs.
