I bought the GPI SS4 No flycut cam package on black friday. I also plan on getting the Johnson Lifters to go with it and the CHE Trunion kit. With that being said it looks like a Damper is smart to get based on this thread.
What else should I get to prevent failures? My motor has 75k miles on it and has been drag raced heavily for two years. |

Open headers. I have 1 7/8 long tube headers from TSP. Thats all. I have ran open headers for about a year and a half now. There have been 2 or 3 times when I connected them back up and ran straight pipe but i just hate the sound of straightpipes anymore. Its not loud enough and just doesn't sound right. Its not even a daily driver anymore though, not since the cam. Quote:

I am a 1LE car that converted to a 4L80E and they put a trans cooler on my car when i got the trans and I haven't seen temps go above 180. I have a line lock as well. Looks like I need to ask my shop about the Damper and Melling High volume oil pump. Thanks for the help! I know there are no ways to prevent any damage, but I want to add/replace anything I can to attempt to prevent a failure. I realize nothing is fail proof though. |

I’m going to do the install myself so I’m just saving for headers and a tune.

BMR toe rods 100 bucks on cspracing.com I’m thinking I should order those now I haven’t them that cheap anywhere else. Bmr trailing arms and the poly bushings. The Pegasus solid sub frame bushings and the 9mm offset diff bushings I cant remember the brand I think they are made out of ??derlin?? Am I missing anything to cure wheel hop and broken axles?

Thats exactly what I have. Except the diff bushings. I haven't done those. And yes, Delrin is the compound, but the brand is BMR. BMR does both delrin and polyurethane for their bushings. I can tell you that I don't have any wheel hop, so you shouldn't either. As for broken axles, you can snap an axle in several ways. Theres wheel hop that can do it, and then there is the possibility of snapping one when dead hooking on a launch that is harder than what said axle can handle. Now, these are relative to the torque you are sending to the wheels. More torque=more strain on the drivetrain when hooking on hard launches. Unfortunately it varies from car to car as to drivetrains breaking. Some can have problems at 500rwhp, some can handle 650rwhp. After that point, you're usually pushing OEM limits, but at that point, you must know that by then anyway. I'd rather snap an axle, blow a rear end up, or twist a driveshaft before I straight up blew my tranny though...
Here is what you'll need to do your outer TA bushings btw

I made a post on it a while back, I am going to look for it. I didn't go full potatoes DIY like I did for the cradle bushings, but it did have some explanation. Its easy enough, you use a knife to cut off the rubber that would otherwise obstruct you from getting your puller onto the knuckle. (This is the most annoying part of the process) Then you put your puller onto the knuckle, and a 3" extension will help you out to clear the lower control arm. The adapter was what I needed to make a proper press, due to the nut spinning when its under pressure and travelling up the bolt.
