Caltracs vs Spohn Setup

I have a set of Spohn tubular rear lower control arm and was wondering how do these compare to the Caltracs. I seen this guy at the track with his 68 Camaro hooking so well with the Caltracs that I was just wondering would the Spohn LCA compare to the Caltracs. I know that I do need to install the Spon relocation bracket and that would give me a better sixty foot times. Any experience would be deeply helpful on getting this baby to have zero tire spin off the line.

1st & 2nd gens use a Leaf Spring suspension, which is quite a bit different than that of a 3rd gen, so you cant really compare the two. The CalTraks wont work with our cars. Any of the aftermarket LCA's will be more stable than a stock piece. For more bite, LCA relocation brackets, LCA's, a new torque arm, and drag launch springs would be your best bet.
