Like the title says Im looking to eliminate wheel hop and improve traction at the occasional trip to the Drag Strip. I need to know what I absolutely need and what Is optional. My Camaro is a 2010 2SS 6sp, bone stock except for Long tube headers, cat delete,a tune and a set of Nitto NT555R drag radials. Considering spraying a 100hp shot of nitrous as well. So, thats what Im workin with. Now Ive read everything I can and seems like a lot of the mods and parts might be overkill for my needs and power level. I really need to know at my power level what I can get away with and reliably launch at the track...again this is my daily driver..thanksin advance for yall's help.

rear cradle bushing, trailing arms and toe rods are like a minimum to keep those tires on the ground.

Yes, those are the Key Players!

Convert to FE4 (2012+). New lower control arms, rear springs, sway bar and end links. Get 1LE rear shocks and toe links. You gotta drop the cradle a little to get the drivers side bolt out for the toe link. Not a big deal. The toe links make a big difference in controlling wheel movement front/rear.

Solid cradle bushings eliminate the shimmy in sweeping turns at the track and make wheel spin acceleration more controllable. There is also some additional road noise however depending on the surface. Personally well worth the tradeoff as I found the track wiggle very annoying. Also the 2010 cradle bushings are way too soft (updated in 2012).

I went overboard on mine but, the first page details what I've done. Not much is stock on it except doors, main body, carpet and rear seats ;o)

I drive mine often and road course it. I focused on the suspension and brakes first...
