cradle bushings?
I have a 2010 Automatic with basic bolt ons and drag radials (no stall converter or cam though) and am thinking about upgrading the gears to 3.73s. I do some weekend bracket racing. I currently have BMR trailing arms with bushings and BMR toe rods. Do I need to upgrade the cradle bushings if I go to 3.73s? I currently footbrake to around 1200rpms.

This video shows just how much movement there is in those stock cradle bushings. The video is an advertisement for the Hotchkis Subframe brace, but the concept is similar to going with poly or solid bushings.

Automatics are not as bad as manuals for wheel hop,but it does happened.
When my car had stock power, the first upgrades we did was the cradle bushings,toe,trailing arms. It's a lot cheaper to upgrade now than having wheel hop at the worse possible time and break an axle,ring & pinion,spider gears in the diff. Alignment is VERY important too.
