Alright so im saving for air and im debating between manual valves or electric.

Obviously electric is faster but is there any way to make manual valves faster?

Ive looked into fittings and found what id need to go from 1/4" line to 3/8". But since the orifice of the valve is so small will the size of the airline make it any faster?

I dnt want to hop or go up insanely fast, just want something a bit slower than 3/8" valves but faster than 1/4"

Ive reasearched and the closest i came to what i wanted was the old MIC 3/8" manual valves that arent made any more

Manual valves aren't very fast, but they seem to work well. I have friends that are running them with no problems.

Thats what i keep seeing nothing but good reviews about reliability but the speed is an issue.

manual cheapest and is very reliable... if you go valves use a manifold valve.. saves alot of time and way less fitting connections that could leak.

It might seem that manifold cost more but by the time you add in every fitting. its almost the same price in the end..

just spent an hour wieghing my options and its still kind of a toss up between the Air-Runner manifold and the VU-4 manifold.

I like the expand-ability of the accu-air unit.

And i saw the Air-Runner setup looks like its setup as a manifold + paddle valves for more accurate adjustment.

just need to fatten up the bank account before i decide lol

Can one of you guys post a link to vid of a gen 2 on air with manual valves?
I keep searching but cant find anything
Still curious on speed.

Nope. They're not fast. Fast enough to get up and down. They're classy, IMO. I'm sure I could get a video, but I just don't care enough to do so.
