what would -Tq arm and lca angles do to street driving?
i have an adjustble torque arm and lower controll arms w/relo brackets on order and i know a negative angle will help on the launch but what would happen if i were to drive the car around like that? would it handle differently/erratically or would it be fine?

Too much pinion angle and you'll be killing the U-joint (it'll probably have a vibration too.)
Pinion angle on these cars really doesn't make much difference. Just set it at about -2 degrees and forget about it.
LCA? I'd get some lowering brackets and set 'em on the bottom hole for a street strip car. You won't know the difference unless you're a serious corner carver in which case the rearend may be looser under some circumstances...so I've heard (but have never noticed since I don't really drive like that in these cars.)

I think the most pinion angle to run on the street is about 3 1/2. That's the max, like that Colonel said you'll kill the U-joint quick, puts too much stress on them.
