Just start with the waxes NOW.... get a good base on it.... it helps in cleaning it and keeps it looking good. I used meguires on all of my black vehicles...

Merry Christmas to all my cohorts in Camaros! May you rock around the Christmas tree to the rhythm of a nice cam lope.

So, what's the deal with you not being allowed to PM?

I am guessing I will be around 410 RWHP, maybe 420 if I'm lucky. But after hearing about your experience, I might shift my attention to some suspension parts next. Did trailing arms solve your problem or did you add more suspension parts as well? Did you go with Pfadt's trailing arms? Any recommendations would be helpful, I'm not so good when it comes to suspensions. Is realignment necessary after installing trailing arm? I guess it is better to add parts than to fix broken ones. Did you stay with the same gears?

Thanks!

I have the money all saved up and I am buying all the parts here in a couple of weeks. I am getting:

JRE upgraded Differential with Posi mod with 3.91 LPE gears
PFADT Differential bushings
PFADT Rear arm package: Trailing arms and Tie rods P/N 1410134
BMR rear cradle full bushing kit P/N BK024
DSS One piece Aluminum Drive shaft P/N GMCA10-A
I may also get the BMR subframe connector

I can't comment from first hand experience on how all this stuff will work out to eliminate wheel hop, but Jason (IROCanSS) has a lot of the same suspension mods and he has no wheel hop. I have heard a lot of guys on this forum talking about how the car feels more "planted" with trailing arms and it allows the rear tires to get better traction. I am going with PFADT trailing arms as opposed to BMR because I think their suspension parts are lighter and better quality than BMR, but I am thinking about getting the BMR subframe connector because it is much cheaper than the PFADT equivalent. I think realignment would be a good idea, although I'm not 100% sure if it is absolutely required. Hope this helps. I will let you guys know how it drives after I get it all installed.
