Z/28 Rear upper control arm bushings, DSE, solid subframe bushings, and a new diff with 3.91 and an Eaton Truetrac all went in, well, over the last couple days actually.

This evening, drove it for a bit. The difference in RPM highway at cruising speeds is noticeable. This is good news really, as my comfortable cruising RPM now means a slower mph.

Sixth gear is now usable at lower speeds too. Also a good thing.

Gets going more quickly as well, but I haven't had a chance to really get on it yet.

Rear end is definitely more connected now too. Have the 1LE suspension, and until today had BMR poly subframe bushings. The improvement is noticeable. I can feel road surface variations even more than I could before. The car is even more communicative.

No NVH increase that I can tell either.

I bought these but can't decide where to mount them. Side under CAMARO or on the side of the hood,on the rise.

Hood Rise......if they fit well. Maybe some rolled up scotch tape, on the back, just to see what they look like?

Washed it. That is all I have energy for anymore. Started to put some detailer on it & only got the hood & gave up. :(

Before dumping a bunch of cash on an exhaust, I did a muffler delete today and it's perfect, nice sound not a major change but just enough, and my co-worker had some nice tips he gave me to make it look sweet, best $150.00 at my local muffler shop I ever spent. No drone no AFM issues,
