Track-Pro drag race kit for 1967, 1968, 1969 Camaro, Firebird, and 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974 Nova Part # TPK-6769
Specifically designed for drag racing, Global West offers tubular upper and lower control arms with low friction bushings that allow the front end to respond quickly. The upper control arms have built in positive caster. These particular units have 6 degrees built in. Caster as you probable already know provides straight-line stability. Camaro, Firebird, and 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974 Novas never had enough positive caster available using the stock components. For example: Let’s take a 1967, 1968, 1969 Camaro, the stock alignment using stock shafts and control arms is caster 0 to 1 degree positive, camber 1/2 a degree positive and toe-in set at 1/8 to 1/4 in. Even if you used an offset upper control arm shaft in your stock arm, the best caster setting you may get is 3 1/2 degrees positive. I would say the average is closer to 3 degrees positive. Remember you also have to set camber. That is the trick, getting camber and caster set properly with enough caster. That is where our tubular upper control arm comes in. The arm has 6 degrees positive caster built in, so minimal shims are required for getting plenty of caster and spot on camber settings. The lower control arms are designed to replace the stock arm using standard coil springs. The lower arm bushings are made from a low friction plastic. When bolted on to the car, the arm should fall to the ground. Yet! Even though the arm moves freely there is still no deflection fore or aft. This is a great improvement over stock or polyurethane bushings. Straight –line stability is improved automatically. Let’s talk about weight. The lower arms are a trade off from stock. We are more concerned with safety then weight. The lower arm needs to withstand a tremendous load. The upper arms are considered followers and are made out of 4130. The cross shafts are made out of aluminum. You will save 8 pounds over the stock units. All of the savings will be in the upper arms. In conclusion: The upper arms will provide superior geometry, more caster, low friction upper bushings and weight savings. The lower arms provide strength and low friction bushings. The combination will allow the front end to snap up rapidly and do to the design will also not deflect. The front end will hold an alignment and be stable. New alignment specifications are included in the kit. Note: A trick when aligning a drag car is to lift the front end up 3/4 inch when setting the alignment.
