Will it hook?
Will it hook? I have a 99 ss with cam/full boltons 9 inch (4.11's) and 6 speed.I am going to the track sunday for the first time after the 9 inch swap and plan to launch it as hard as the track will allow. My only concern with hooking is the car is lowered with Eibach sportlines. It has Weld RT's on it with 325/50/15 MT drag radials on the back. The suspension stuff I do have is:
Subframe connectors
lower control arm relocation brackets
aftermarket lower control arms
UMI TQ arm and TQ arm relocation
Sphoon 25mm rear sway bar
Will it hook well being lowered with the Eibachs? I plan on leaving pretty hard if it will hook up. Just curious on your thoughts.

Yea dont feel too bad if it wont hook. Mine was on Stranos and it wouldnt hook very well but I had bias plys as well. Im not sure id just throw bias plys on there though because im sure you dont have alot of clearence.
Probably not, even if you re adjust all the adj suspension points. The Drag Radial does not slip enough to keep the RPM's up.
There is a "sweet spot" but when you start making cam only power it really becomes a on/off switch.
You should be able to put up an ok time, just do not expect that this is the best the car can do. Also I hope you have line lock as with those tires its really needed to get them heated. Another issue i learned long ago with that tire.

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
A stock shock if you hook well on a ET Drag Bias ply should have the body slamming on the rear which is another issue but again you have to see how the car is acting before deciding the next part that needs to be ordered.
If you want any chance of it hooking do a fast slip from about 5000 rpm. Don't do a clutch dump just kind of a smooth release with out slipping too much. You need to get the tire in motion before you release all the power to it, once it's in motion it may have a chance to hook. If you shock it too hard it won't have a chance.

Well finally went to the track today.
3k - hooked and bogged 2.0x 60 ft.
3.5k - hooked and bogged 1.9x 60 ft
4k - broke lose and spun to 60 ft a little 1.79 60 ft, 7.671 at 93.3
4.5k - huge burnout and lower pressure to 15 psi. hooked hard and broke the driveshaft
Best pass previous to today was with the 10 bolt at 7.95 at 93 so I was happy where the times where going. I believe with a launch around 5k will net a good 60ft and a solid 7.5. Now I have to save up for a driveshaft.
