ill be installing some trailing arms (new bushings too while im at it - i believe pfdat has a kit for this that is kick ass) to deal with some wheel hop, but wondered if there is anything else that i might as well go ahead and do to beef it up. only at 350 rwhp right now, but plan on going up to 600 plus (gradually) within the next several years. thanks for the advice/suggestions.

Do the rear sub frame bushings or at least bushing inserts and differential bushes first!!
This thread is a good read and full of useful information http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...ht=rear+cradle
The inserts are cheap too (considering). A competent shop can to the work in a couple of hours or you could spend a day on your back doing it youself with jackstands.

Bushing upgrades do these cars a world of good, particularly the rear cradle. If you would like to have a more detailed discussion about your application feel free to PM me.
