What do I need to pull 1G?
No. Chevy High Performnce did an article a while back. They took a black thirdgen to Hotchkis for upgrades. If I remember correctly, they did sway bars, subframe connectors, strut tower brace, lower control arms, panhard rod, and poly bushings. Running on 17" rims with 275 wide tires they were only able to come in just under one g. I believe it was .96g. It did perform better on the skidpad and slalom than lots of other cars including the new vettes (not the ZO6 though I think.)
You'll be close but not quite there.

... if you already have the SFC's welded in, the STB and wonderbar installed, with the aftermarket Panhard Rod and LCA's with the re-location brackets, then your almost there.
With the ride height adjusted properly, the roll center aligned and about 1.5 degrees of negative camber your getting real close.
Now assuming that you have already got upgraded bushings thru out the suspension, about a 55 to 45 front to rear ratio and have compensated the weight transfer to the opposite side, you'll simply need to adjust the corner weights and you should be able to hit about 1.05g's.
I hope to be able to pull that this season, once I'm done with my 'project' car.
If you really want the formula to figure out the g's pulled, drop me an email and I'll send it to you. I just don't have it at work.
