Default Installed 12 bolt, now traction problems

I installed a strange 12 bolt in my TA about a month ago. Now the car will not hook up. I went from a 10 bolt 3.73's to a 12 bolt 3.73's. My car has all the bolt ons and a 224 cam, pt4000 stall, I running ET streets. My 60 foot used to be 1.59 to 1.62, now I'm in the 1.70's. Could my pinion angle been affected with 12 bolt? I also installed BMR LCA's when I installed the 12 bolt. any ideals what could be causing my problems?

Check and reset your pinion angle. Did you change ride height when the new rear was installed???

I didn't measure the ride height before and after but it looks to be about the same. I still have the factory torque arm so I guess it's time to get an adjustable one.
