At what point
Does suspension parts such as LCAs, toe rods, bushings etc play a huge role? Drag and street

At what point
Whenever you start caring about getting power to the ground.

Nick, a factory C5 Camaro is quite loose in the rear. No comparison to a C6.

My SS got beat by a probably stockish Mustang V6 today because I couldn't keep traction. Granted it was wet, but suspension is probably as important as power.

Pretty simple addition is the BMR anti wheel hop kit assembled by JDP

Agree with everyone here. Stock is when you should care. I DD my car with PFADT/AFE POWER trailing arms, toe links and solid rear cradle bushings. The only negative thing I've noticed is a slight increase in road noise. Suspension does play a pretty large role with these cars. Stock they wheel hop like crazy and wheel hop is extremely hard on important parts like half shafts and CV joints

Exactly. So he should be looking at suspension upgrades even at stock power levels. They always help.

Awesome, appreciate it fellas. I haven't really pushed mine. (LT,Headers,3.91) yet. So, I didn't know if ours stock could handle of if it needed immediate attention.
