Do you think the suspension parts would add any benefits for a stock car?

Depends on what you're doing with the car. For everyday driving, not really. If you're going to track it or go nuts with it (get the rear end loose, etc.), I'd say yes. Those stock arms in the back that I replaced have tons of material missing from cut-outs in the center, so they're pretty flimsy. The more stress you put on them, the more they'll flex.

I'd wait until you get the SC...that's when you'll need it.

Good to know. I am planning to lower mine soon and maybe strut tower brace at this point

I have a feeling that strut tower brace isn't worth it's weight. If you don't mind, let me know if you notice any difference after adding it...thanks!

Sorry I haven't had a lot of time to post, but my car is currently under the knife again getting a cam, LT4 fuel system, smaller pulley and more. Goal is to be 650-700rwhp on 93 octane.
You can follow along here...there are more pics there as well: http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=479471

Got my car back last week after some additional testing with a Rotofab intake. The boost was dialed back a bit after they moved from an 80mm pulley to 85mm since it was more efficient with the intake (added 12 rwhp and tq)
Also added a flex fuel sensor for E85 and ordered a couple 55g barrels of Ignite fuel. They're recommending I mix in about 5g of 93 octane with each tank to make it E66 just as a precaution. Final numbers from my dyno sheets: Avg RWHP: 574.6 Avg RWTQ: 635.3 Max RWHP: 734.2 Avg RWTQ: 674.3 It's plenty fast on pump gas so I'll probably just add in some E85 when I want to have some fun. I drove it around all weekend since the weather was good and the car's a rocket ship! Friday I'll be bringing it back for a few minor adjustments if the weather holds out, then I'll anxiously be awaiting spring edit - here's a youtube video that Jannetty made when they were tuning it (pre-intake)

I'm also looking at axles now. The stock axles can handle up to 700rwhp but I'm not sure how they'll do with DR's, especially considering I'm just over that with 730rwhp now. I'm a little hesitant to launch at WOT right now, but I've pushed hard already on the top end and it feels fine. The upgraded bushings that came with the BMR arms in back are helping. I also picked up a BMR draft shaft loop for some added insurance. It's a pretty inexpensive part that gives you some protection in case it breaks...plus I'd need to have it if I ever want to bring the car to the strip. Here's a pic. The exhaust just needs to be lowered to install.

Picked up an Ngauge yesterday to read my E85 %. Just using the suction cup and hid the OBDII cable in the trim for now until a pod is available.

This is one clean ride! Very tasteful mods, too! It looks like it will be a blast to drive on the street and the track.
