Gears or Suspension

For the upcoming NCM road course at CamaroFest, which upgrade would be most beneficial, gears or suspension? If suspension, what upgrades would have the best bang for the buck?

1LE setup would be a good start....look in my sig for my mod list and replicate. I have 1LE shock/struts waiting to be installed soon.

What are your current mods?

Brakes are at the top of the list. You'll want to upgrade the fluid and make sure you have close to new brake pads.

If it were my Camaro, I would be installing a larger rear bar, radius arm inserts and getting an alignment well suited to your pain threshold for tire wear.

Very few people run out of acceleration on a road course before they run out of talent
