Good morning everyone. I had a best 1.7 sixty foot in my fbo cammed..geared and stalled 2011 Camaro. It ran 11.7 in high heat and humidity. I'm.looking at upgrading my rear suspension. I know solid cradle bushings are a must but what else have you guys done to improve your launch? I'm on a budget because I was just quoted $7500 for solid rears and a tru track diff here in Canada. Thanks for any advice.

Here is what I have in my order of importance:

Solid cradle bushings
BMR trailing arms with poly bushings in the knuckles
BMR toe rods
BMR UCA bushings (the ones that bolt to the cradle not the knuckle)
Engery suspension diff bushings (I have some delrin units from BMR, but they were a bit harsh, will try them again next time rear is apart)
BMR sub-frame connectors
FE4 conversion

With an automatic, you might be able to get away with stock carrier for quite a while.
