I now know what my next mod will be...
I believe we improved a SS at Gingerman by 2.5 seconds just by our XA coil overs without even properly setting them up. So Pedders can change the entire attitude of the Camaro.

If you need help, just ask

thanks

Why you would want to go backwards and put in a OE rear bar is not known. but if you do, you would simply drill out the OE hole in the bar.

Why did we go with a 12mm end link? Because the 10mm end links are too soft for the maximum driving that can be performed. Why do we use a ball joint style end rather than a heim joint style end? the Balljoint ends are far more reliable than the heim joint style for day in and day out driving. For a all out race care where you replace these on a regular basis, does not worry about the effects of these in snow, ice, salt areas.

Mike,

Thanks again for the feedback.

Do you guys recommend any shops to have your products installed in Southern California?

The reason I asked about returning certain parts to stock is because sometimes aftermarket parts break and if you aren't made of money and you don't want to risk encountering further problems, you just may want to return your car to stock form.

I don't know, your parts are probably more durable than OEM parts, but it's just a piece of mind thing for me. I like holding onto OEM parts even if I upgrade to aftermarket parts, which are often time better made.

Also, is there any reading information on road tests done with your Track II package. I would love to know about the g's that the Camaro is capable of with the Track II package.

Thanks.

For a shop in Southern Ca, Haddad Motorsports is the best by far with a huge amount of experience. They were trained by me!!

We have tested our Pedders Camaro and it turned a 1.38g. We will be doing some testing with stock tires this summer, but know we will be over 1.0g, Heck, we can get a seriously heavy 300C with a TrackII system and OE tires to turn a .99.

thanks

The parts listed and shown below are the primary parts to assist you in becoming efficient in the transfer of hp and torque


BEFORE INSTALL. THIS CAMARO WAS EXCEPTIONALLY HIGHER THAN THE NORMAL SSII


AFTER PICTURES SET UP FOR 75% AGGRESSIVE STREET, AND 25% AGGRESSIVE DRAG


AFTER PICTURES SET UP FOR 75% AGGRESSIVE STREET, AND 25% AGGRESSIVE DRAG


HERE ARE THE PICTURES OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS FOR THE DRAG XA

FRONT RADIUS ROD HD BUSHINGS THE OEs ARE FLUID FILLED AND OFFER SOME CONCERNS FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE


FRONT RADIUS ROD INSTALLED


FRONT CASTER ECCENTRIC INSTALLED. INCREASED OE CASTER BY 2.35 DEGREES


POWER STEERING RACK POLY BUSHING INSTALLED



PEDDERS EP1167HD REAR DIFF VERY HEAVY DUTY BUSHINGS INSTALLED IN THE CAR WITHOUT REMOVING THE DIFFERENTIAL

Hope you enjoy it.!

I love how my car handles. I tore 17 up on my way back from Santa Cruz last night and the car handles really well... however, I would say my car has a lot of noise from the diff we did the Pedders mods. People who ride in the car all ask about the noise. It doesn't bother me because if you have raced .. none of the racecars have any undercoating or sound deadening material and so a pin hitting the underside of the car is loud.

Diff noise may occur with our HD version differential bushings. But it is slight and depends on how your differential is set up from the factory. We can substitute the regular upgraded unit instead of the HD unit, which is specifically designed for those Camaros putting down serious HP.

The difference between our normal EP1167 and EP1167HD has to do with the dura and the engineered relief holes in the EP1167. the EP1167HD is totally solid

thanks

As a question to the community, the kit mentioned above eliminates wheel hop. So what ET time will wheel hop ding you for?

After viewing some major wheel-hop from those on the 1320 at the C5F, I would estimate .7, or so... ?

It is interesting to note the differences in wheel hops. Siome do, some do not. Part of this is the driver, weather, road service. But other influences is the natural frequency of the Camaro which will be a little different car to car
