Dennis, I have the Moser 12 bolt with the raised mounting points and avoided the DM stuff as well. I haven't measured the UCA angle but I lowered the ride height to get the LCA about 2 degrees from parallel to ground, and the UCA angle is what it is. You can see in that video I sent ya that the tire is definitely being "planted" at the hit. I don't know yet if it needs much more than that. But we're working to find out.

Kevin, good to have ya here. That is one bad-@ss ride your putting together.

Thanks Dave,Kevin checked it yesterday and its about 21 degrees right now...problem is that the hop bars are welded on and the housing powder coated already...were gonna try to drill more holes and drop it down more..

I just went through all that . looking for a rear suspension set up and that is why i did not go with the dick miller set up . He has very nice stuff but as 10sec buick stated my moser already had the top mt points altered so more was over kill. And you factor in the finiky nature of those drag rd . there is a member on here running the dick miller set up that is running low 9sec area. good luck and very fine car . keep us posted . I want to do a procharger next year on a 555 but a blow through set up . so im very intrested in your car .

Nice looking project. That block looks like jewelry.

If it was mine, I'd be getting rid of those no-hop bars. They will do more harm than good. 9" housings already have raised upper ears and the no-hops make that worse. With as much power as I suspect this thing will have, they do not fit the rest of the combination. The hit to the tire will be very violent and make traction even more of a problem.

The picture between the cheetos tiger and the chute showing the tire from the back looks like minimal clerance for tire growth other than that it look pretty bad butt.
