WOW! Wrapping up the Adrenaline compressor & moisture removal system as we speak. I have to say, this is the baddest automotive compressor I have ever dealt with! I would tell you what kind of pressure it is capable of, but I can't. My gauge only goes to 200 psi....and it went past it and was "bumping" the 0 peg all the way around.....and got there quick!!! Even with all that pressure built up, when I hit the vent......DANG......PRESSURE DROPPED FROM 260+ TO 0 IN ABOUT A HALF A SECOND!!!

I played around with the adjustable vent part and its cooler than I ever thought. By twisting a little knob, you can tune or detune the vent to immediately BLAST the air out -OR- vent like your grandmothers Town Car. :D

You guys with the Ray kit or those who are gonna wait for our remote slam module, will love how fast it'll vent down.

BTW, I am still going to offer the stock Mark VIII compressor for the ones that just want a stock part, but the Spider Extreme is no longer available for it. At this point, putting an Extreme on a Mark VIII compressor is like going back in time. There are fans and then there are fanatics. For the Mark VIII fanatic, the ADRENALINE IS FOR YOU. The latest & the greatest is the Adrenaline and can only be purchased with the moisture removal system. This system can be easily fitted with add-ons in the future as they are released. http://www.americanairsuspension.com/cart/products.php?cat=3
 
Great Job Eddie ... if anyone can take care of our Air Ride systems you are Da_Man

Yes for all you Members who think all I do is delete the air ride - I still have a Mark VIII with Air Ride - I didn't Destroy them all ... at least not Yet LOL
 
Well I know where my September build funds are going to. :D
 
Oh boy!!!!!!
Fun fun fun.

Remote slam module...any Idea how far out this is?

Soon.

I think my next project is the dual "Old School" relay system. Where the compressor runs off a standard "Old School" type relay. Gets its trigger(signal) from the stock relay, but the compressor itself is supplied power by the dual relays.(yes 2 relays=redundant relay system=if 1 dies, your still good to go)

After that, either the:
Remote Slam Module. Be able to slam the car to the bumpstops by way of a remote.....or even raise the car by remote.
-OR-
"COPPERHEAD" Air Suspension alarm. "When you want it to HURT to steal your car"! (the alarm will include the remote slam module) For those of you that have ever driven a Mark VIII with no air in the system.....this alarm will hit home for you. If the alarm is set and the car door is either opened....or if someone tries to steal your car, it will immediately slam all 4 wheels and automatically shut down the system and cannot be bypassed unless its disarmed by the remote. In other words, if you were speedy-ma-greedy and thought you could turn the suspension switch off in time to keep the air in the system......your wrong. The alarm will keep the vent open to full vent for however much time it is programmed too(2+ minutes, etc.) You won't want to drive this thing very far....and will probably scare the crap out of the goofball.

With that being said, if the Adrenaline system is on your car, as well as the Copperhead alarm, even Speedy-mofreakin-greedy ain't fast enough to turn the switch off before it slams!!!

BTW, this is one that may have to wait until I LLC the company!
 
I'm not one to usually get a boner over an air suspension part, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to get one of these.
 
i really need to get my 97 back on air, anyone want to buy a 2 inch lowered coil conversion so i can get air again, i need all these toys in my car!
 
Ok she's a done deal. I just have to take all the pictures, make the instructions and make the online support page. If you want one, order here:

Trust me....I don't usually get a boner on this stuff either, as I see this mess all day long......but this is a bad dude!
 
I'm in ... can't wait for them to be available... Maybe with one of these I could keep an air ride system ... LOL

Then I would not be called the Mark VIII Destroyer
 
Eddie, I sent you an email last Friday. Any update on my order as I've not heard back?
Thanks :)
 
Hey Eddie, does the new compressor cause any height hunting issues? I know with Chickens dual setup his pumps too fast somethimes and the car has to vent/pump a bit to get the height the car wants. I was curious with the faster venting and pumping if it causes the system to run more often?

No, no. As far as pumping goes, its good & strong but it is definately not a fast bag setup (your still restricted because of the size of the line too). The Adrenaline is a good balance between power, efficientcy and I would imagine allot quieter than those fast bag type compressors. It should pump up a tad quicker than the stock one.

As far as the venting goes, thats totally up to how you adjust it. If you adjust it where it vents really, really fast.....it may vent quicker than what the computer is ready for, so it may have to pump a little to bring it back up. If your slamming it for the cool factor, that wouldn't be a problem I'm sure. :D

BTW, because the venting is easily adjustable, you could simply adjust it where its fast enough to for normal daily routine, but if you were going out on the weekend or messing around with your buds, you could just reach down through the hole that the silencer used to cover and temporarily adjust it out where its screaming fast.

the twins is about twice as fast as the stock system (about 45 sec vs 90 from a full drop) it not too noticeable but she does pump up a bit too fast then vent a hair

it will be definitely faster than the computer can see. the vent im currently running has a 1/8" hole and its drastically faster and louder than the valve that came on the original spider valve

No, on this thing, it all depends on how the person adjusts it. You can adjust it where it'll even vent SLOWER than stock.....all the way too what I call "EMERGENCY BLOW"!!! (In my best Sean Connery submariner voice) :D
 
i get it eddie, but if joe shmo opens the vent all the way cuz it sounds cool and works the compressor to death (granted it is a bigger better unit it could still happen) whos fault would that be? remember C.Y.A. cover your ass, just dont wanna see you get burned
