Just to keep this discusion going. My car is 100% bone stock and doesn't seem to have any issues with the GM parts that came with it.Asides from my superior driving skills a set of slicks has gone a long way in my case.

Damn! Same stock suspension, as in everything from the springs, trailing arms, toes, bushings, axels, etc?

That's badass man!

My car suspensions hasn't been touched. I'd even had two of the big companies over me stuff at half price to run and they would buy the parts back if I wasn't satisifed. I asked Ted about this and he said that he didn't think it was worth messing with since it has worked so well since day one.
It cuts mid 1.4 60's with a sweat and thats without much practice on the new tires. I would think it could do better. Since the last time we did take the front sway bar out and add 75 rwhp so maybe this will push it over the edge to where I need some help is this dept. I'll know soon enough.

Every single car that I have seen, new camaro speaking, has performed like junk at the track. My guess is that they aren't set-up properly bc the parts that I have seen offered by these companies look like they are f'in awesome!!!!

See. My car has no issues:

Ha! Thanks! Besides pushing the gas pedal down my biggest contribution is delivering the cash from my safe to Ted. He has come up with everything to to do. Actually, I do choose my own air pressures if that counts for anything!

Your car does look awesome there!

You do have a really good set of tires though, IMHO Matts car would not have ran what it ran on an 18" drag radial without the suspension mods that it has.

As an owner with a ton of experience I'm sure you preach the same way Ted does. With Ted, it's tire, tire, and hey, let's get some more tire on this car!! So as the hp has grown so has my choice in tire. I'm anxious to see what these things will be able to hold. We took some gear out in hopes of being able to get out of the hole faster in addition to the sway bar and the hp increase. I'd be pretty cool if the car could 1.39 with the stock stuff.

[Bruce@raymondsperformance]

That is pretty cool.

Jamie, That's one thing Ted and I haven't discussed is my 17" Bogarts with our up & coming 900rwhp! We'll see
