Default LCAs and UCA

Is their an advantage to running aftermarket LCAs or UCA (other than adjustable pinion angle) if you dont have ANY wheelhop issues?
My car doesnt even hop when it spins ET Streets to a 1.81 on a 6900 rpm launch. Much less when it hooks.

IMHO - it would allow less flex on the launch and improve your 60's. plus if adjustable you could set your pinion a bit more agressively to help with launching as well.

Pretty much at stock horsepower it isnt really much wheel hop at all with drag radials. I didn't have much issues untill I boosted her. I would watch the clutch drop at those rpm's tho, the stock clutch wont last long and there is a small chace at breaking the drive shaft.
