It helps for sure with wheel hop and keeping the tires planted. Do you know how to set the uppers for a street/drag setup? which i think is what your going after.

-2 is what mine are set at. Any more and would need to shim the tranny. Does your wheel hop? Nether of my stangs ever did. I thought the cobra would with the 4.10's but no. Both always came out real straight too.
