Pulling the front wheels up?
How hard is this really to do with camaro? i know its got a huge wheelbase so it makes it harder. but how much more work do i gotta do to my car to pull the front wheels(or at least one of them) of the ground with my set up?

That's your problem. Start with a good torque arm (chassis mount will get you hooking up very nicely), then get a good set of rear LCAs (LCA relocation brackets would be good too, even if you aren't lowered).
Subframe connectors are also important. Some are better than others, but any weld-in type will be a huge improvement over nothing.
After that, start worrying about shocks & springs.

get weight off of the nose and get some adjustable shocks all around. disconnect your front sway bar when you run. you want to transfer all of the weight rearward and keep it there till you get off the throttle.

100 percent correct. However I would add that the TA and LCA's will work better if their fully adjustable. You won't need a crazy amount of power to get that thing air born, if everything is set properly.

to add to this i dont think the nittos are goin to cut it. and lik said its about weight transfer so dont focus only on rear suspension. there is a stock lt1 with just suspension done and he has a pic with air under the front left tire.

our cars are also TERRIBLE when it comes to weight in front of the front wheels, remove/move some of that weight, and it will come up very easily
