I saw this on Hot Rod Magazine and thought it would be good to share for people who are looking to go from baseline SS to something with more go and what in the Camaro breaks as one increases HP and/or is intending to use their Camaro for something like drag racing. Being new to the Camaro community but not new to modding cars and driving them, I would like to say I have learned enough from my own mistakes and from the mistakes of others.

Thanks for posting that! I have just been getting into dragracing and it is good to know what types of parts I will need to replace as my power level goes up

Thanks for posting, reminded me of my younger years and all the things I broke. I enjoy the power now without beating on it, keeps my billfold from getting thinned at regular intervals. For the ultimate adrenalin rush, sit your butt on a GSXR1000 and any cage you get in will feel SLOW in comparison to 165 horsepower/365 lbs of bike.
