Hi I was wondering by raising my upper control arms on the rearend would it improve my 60 ft. ...Art Morrision sells a kit that allows the upper control arms to be raised .Im positive it will change the instant center but will the factory location do the job along with a good set of double adjustable arms ....

It will hit the tire harder. Depends on your setup. If you're running 11's or 12's, hitting the tire harder sometimes helps get a better 60. Once you have some more HP and run mid 10's or quicker, you don't want to hit the tire too hard and if you do, it leads to inconsistent 60 ft's and violent launches.
TRZ So if a car will run into the low 10 sec range It would be best to go with a set of your double adjustable upper arms and leave the location stock ?this will allow for more controlable launches and consistant 60 ft times?

I am running that AM setup on my car. If you go with it; I don't recommend using any but the lowest hole on the relocator bracket. The upper two holes hit the tire VERY hard. I run in the lowest hole and the car leaves well.

Really its depends alot on ride height. Lowering these cars 1/2" can shorten the IC location by 6-10 inches, depending on where the ride height is at. But most people cant get their car low enough to have to worry about that much.
