1/4 mile estimate - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey guys I'm thinking of going to the 1/4 mile drag strip and was wondering what do you think that I could run? I'm making 438rwhp and have the stock rear end and 305/20's BFG'S. All of my mods are in my signature. Thanks

I was hoping to be in the 11's but I guess that's not going to happen without drag radials you think?

Gonna need a tire and a converter to go 11s

I’d say 12.8. If you’re asking, probably 13’s til you figure it out. Street tires will definitely make it tough.

How much time do you think that I could knock off with drag radials? And if I did go with drag radials do I have to worry about breaking an axle? I just replaced them with oem ones.

Any rear suspension mods?

No not yet. But I am leaning towards changing out the rear sub frame bushings for the poly. What would you recommend?

TheFlyingBananaSS · 07-14-2021, 06:16 PM

Toe rods, trailing arms are a must if you get drag radials.
My guess is mid to high 12's

Should I do the toe rods and trailing arms instead of the bushings?

I agree.

The TQ Converter is worth 4-5 tenths with a good drag radial.

Wheel hop is what breaks axles.

I did all 3 and have no wheel hop. I also did delrin control arm bushings.

morepowerjoe · 07-15-2021, 06:32 AM

So would you point me in the right direction of best brands and parts needed for toe rods, trailing arms, control arm bushings, and subframe bushings? Thanks guys.

TheFlyingBananaSS · 07-15-2021, 06:35 AM

I have BMR trailing arms and Toe rods. I put in Detroit speed cradle bushings. And I believe the delrin control arm bushings were GM. But lots of good brands out there to pick from. Do some research.
