Hey guys just wanted to post my results with the UPR control arms. Really happy with them. Last time I went to the track I ran 13.10@104mph with a 1.82 60'. That was on stock upper and lower control arms. I switched to UPR adjustable uppers and lowers with solid bushings. I didnt actually measure the pinion angle but I made the lowers the same length as stock and the uppers just a tad bit shorter. I was only able to get one good run at the track it was my first run, I ran a 13.14@102 with a 1.75 60'. I was having issues with my car bucking a little bit in higher rpms, and after the first run it was at a point where it would barely stay running. I looked over the engine and realized the distributor was loose so my timing was off. I managed to borrow a wrench and tighten it down but didnt have a light to set the timing. The car would idle but would fall on its face when I hit the throttle so I had to cut my loses and just go home. Even though I am pissed my day got cut short I am happy with the one good run I got, before I was running 1.9's and managed to get the 1.82 on my best run of the night, this time I ran the 1.75 on the first run out with the timing being off. Gonna throw the new throttle body on and try again another day.

Very nice. Too bad about the dizzy. When do you plan on going back?

Probably in a couple weeks or so, unfortunately I work on track days so for me to go I have to request off work. I just ordered a 75mm accufab throttle body that should get here Thursday so I want to throw that on before I go back. Right now I think my stock throttle body is a bottle neck.

Sorry about the waste of the day but I'm glad you're pleased with the UPRs. I just got mine in a couple weeks ago and will be installing them as I slowly put the car back together. Update us when you get the timing/TB situation sqaured away. Im excited about testing mine out too
