Need a drag setup to launch 700rwhp - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Where do you race OP, Holly Springs? That track is in MS right? Or do you guys go out of state?

If you do a Whipple and a converter slicks will get the job done, drag radials might it depends on how good your local track is.

You don't need any suspension to run mid to high 10's/ low 11's, but personally I'd like to get a set of adjustable shocks for the front some day.

I did toe rods and trailing arms and I think my car hooks worse now.

Tires, tires, and more tires. That's all you need. Take it from someone who had a stock suspension L99 go 9.80 at 140.

I run at Hub City in Hattiesburg,MS... Sometimes in Gulfport.. I would like to start going to different events out of state.. Just need to get the power to the ground and get out of the hole good.

Unless you plan on running rear wheels smaller than 17", you don't need the Brake Conversion Package. We also highly recommend the XSB004 Anti-Roll Bar with this package. I have this exact package on my personal car with 17" Welds and it is still very "streetable". My car isn't quite the "corner carver" it used to be, but if successful hard launches are what you're after, this is the ticket!!! As previously mentioned, full replacement cradle bushings (or even solid) are also highly recommended. And personally, I would go with some TR004 Toe Rods too!

I have this all, but the brake conversion package and I'm loving it. Its great at the drag strip, the launch feels so planted! I actually got the rear tires with 0 degrees camber and no more than 64'ths an inch of toe in and big thanks to Thomas @ H-E for the alignment suggestions. I autoX'd this setup today and adjusting the compression to its max and rebound a little bit below medium, I had a blast and the car handled pretty nice. I just need to do front suspension now.
