tuning for street
I am running a lot of power and torque in my 420 cu street car and really need more bite. Currently have team Z lower DA lowers with DA uppers and stock v8 springs with one coil cut off and strange adjustable shocks. Im about 3/4" spread between bolts on lower control arms. New Nitto drag tires 27" tall. 4:10 gears. Coil over front strut conversion. C4 with Bp 3500 converter. Any input from experience would help. I did down load baselines guidelines

Are you talking race car or cruiser?
If you mean street-raced car, then you won't get much help. I'll volunteer that street-raced cars like anti-squat. For a cruiser, gonna be a hard compromise

Its raced but we do it locally on airport runway at organized events. Its asphalt just like our streets. Can't get any real good traction. Car don't seem to squat much. Can't run slicks either, dot tire

Get on a flat surface and measure to the centers of the control arm bolts and either post or pm me those numbers as well as the actual measurement to the fender lips front and rear.

Lower arms at 9 11/16 back bolt and 10 1/8 front bolt. Less difference than I thought and rear wheel wells are 28 1/16 , front is 26 5/8.

Sorry I forgot to clarify. I need the upper measurements to the bolts as well. I will use the factory lengths unless you think you've moved them a lot from stock. I'll punch them in the computer in the morning when I get to the shop.

Re: tuning for street
Hard to get an exact measure on uppers cause I have team Z solid spherical bushings. Both are about 16 11/16 and they have a 1 1/2 degree angle down in the front and lowers have the same degree angle up at the front.
