Lca angles

I have lcarb's on my 9" rear ii have aleays ran them in the lowest hole. My car is stock ride height in rear. At ride height with lca in lowest position i have 8* of angle from rear end up to the body. What position are you all running on a drag race setup.
Currently my best 60' time is 1.513. Loioking to improve. My car seperates very well . I think too much. Would putting lca in stock location help me with getting more forward bite off the as too lift like i have now? Lca would be close to level. Also have a set of sriffer z28 springs laying around i could try whats. Your alls experience with lca angles and 60'
Foot times associated with adjusting thwm?

Re: Lca angles

The more level they are, the more straight forward they are pushing instead of trying to lift the front end. - Whether or not you'll still have enough weight transfer to keep the tires planted at that setting comes down to many variables.

Try it and see how it acts. - Do you have a hole in between?

Re: Lca angles

i've heard 2* upward is the ideal. mine are in the middle hole, and seems to 60' more consistently this way.
