how to hook Im going to be going with a larger stall....what all do i need to hook on the street besides good m/t....i already have SFCs...everyone races on really good concrete so most people dead hook but what all will help....
We do offer several different lower control arms for different applications but our most basic lower control arm works for about 90% of the cars out there and are tough enough for single digit et's.
The lower control arm part # TCA001 can be found HERE
Control arm relocation brackets or "anti-squat" brackets they are sometimes called help with making the car "hook" by altering the rear suspension geometry. With the extra off the line torque from the higher stall i highly recommend them.
We offer a bolt on and weld on version which can be found HERE
Once you get these basic pieces see how the car works and go from there.
If you have any questions please ask
Hello
Just another suggestion for you to help the vehicle hook both on the street and at the track. Like mentioned above I would suggest looking into a set of lower control arms and relocation brackets. You will not only be eliminating the flexible stock lower control arm that the rubber bushings are possibly shot. You are gaining a good bit of your traction performance and wheel hop going with a solid control arm with poly bushings that are grease-able. And you are also installing the Relocation Brackets that give you the extra adjustments by allowing you to adjust the lower control arm so that its parallel to the surface and increases your traction performance and helps eliminate your wheel hop. Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has to offer!

I was able to get my MS4+150shot setup to hook on the street by quickly rolling into the throttle. Here is a list of my suspension, hope it helps!
QA1 12 way adjustable with 300lb springs up front.
Comp 50/50 in the rear.
All UMI under the car, sub frame connectors, LCA's, LCA relocators, Rear Sway Bar, Torque Arm, and of course a Ford 9" on a 275 MT
Here is a quick video launching the car on spray ( sorry for the quality)

Thank you, as I am very happy with every item I have purchased from you guys.
Here is the same setup at the track cutting a 1.57 with some transmission issues. I forgot to mention it is a 3400 stall.

OP, if you need any help dialing in the car's suspension let me know.
