.4sec improvement with bmr - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

suzbndt · 04-08-2012, 09:37 AM

best run stock 8.9@85 put BMR full suspension and trailing arms went 8.5@86 no other changes. best 60ft 2.2 stock went 1.96 60ft with the new suspension. I was running 19lbs in the tires both time and very lite burn out on both best runs. Had another 8.6@87 with a 300 pound passenger. Cant wait till I get NT05 315/275 setup on my new rims

Congrats! Eventually people will realize that improving performance isn't only about adding horsepower. You can make all the power in the world but it won't matter if you can't effectively transmit it to the pavement.

That is a pretty cool pic.

getting rid of the wheel hop was best thing ever. The car didnt feel like it was getting abused either. The SS has now ran within .06sec of my fastest run with my stock 2011 5.0 track pack

power is coming very soon LT headers, exhaust,G6x3 cam, 1.85 ratio rockers, vavle springs, 95mm TB, Tune, and some nitto NT05 315/275 setup

Awesome improvement on your times and your 60ft! It goes to show that a little bit of suspension goes a long way.

We appreciate you using BMR Suspension for all your suspension and chassis needs.

My drag car with slicks was doing a full tire turn at launch and then grabbing. Adjusted the four link until the best we could get was about a quarter turn before it grabbed. There is just no initial weight transfer and we are launching at 6,000 rpm on a trans brake. Gained 2 tenths right there. Suspension is crucial.

Excellent mod.

Nice. I just got my bmr lowering springs and bmr toe rods. Now i am just waiting to get my trailing arm. Cant wait, especially with the write up you got here. Nice

You should notice a pretty big difference in the handling with your car and considerably less wheel hop.

I hope your installer is checking PTV clearance. I would stick with 1.7.

ditto on the ratio.. 1.85 is a little steep with that cam.. you're gonna have to flycut for sure

Love the title!

Trailing arms and bushings are a must! I don't even have the toe links but they are on the list.
