Its not only about an upgraded uca, its all the parts in support of it as well. Relocation brackets, stronger lca's, solid sway bars,excellent springs all aid in the reduction of wheel hop and help traction.

The after video will be done this Sunday as long as the weather holds.
Hero 3 Black Edition w/suction cup mount and the short arm. The suction cup was actually directly above the drivers side exhaust on the flat area. Worked great.
Doesn't seem to matter for me. I am just going with OFF from here on out.
I have the upper, upper mount, and lowers sitting in my living room right now. All poly bushings.
I'm still up in the air about springs. I would think that for straight line acceleration (drag strip), the stock ones may be the best way to go since they are taller with a lower spring rate than aftermarket and allow the most weight transfer to the rear. Handling and cornering though, shorter, stiffer springs all the way for sure. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
I was about to order your boxed DOM lower control arms to help with wheel hop. I eventually want to get the upper adjustable control arm and mount as well. After watching this video I'm considering starting with the upper I really can't afford to buy it all at once. So what do you recommend I start with first the upper or lower control arms?
The video and all of this is why I am going to ELIMINATE the UCA altogether. A Cortex Torque Arm is going on mine along with their Watts Link as well...and other goodies 
OP great video!

Thanks for the video! It looks like I am going to be adding this to my list too. This is my first Mustang so I am learning all this stuff.
I typically always recommend starting with LCA. I have thousands of customers who are satisfied with the performance of the stock UCA, in conjunction with aftermarket LCA.
The UCA and LCA both provide excellent results, in terms of performance.
What is it that you are doing with the car, or better yet, what is your goal for the car? There are so many variables. You would think after seeing this video, that, you cannot have a good performing car with a stock UCA, nor could a car be fast with the stock UCA, but that really is not the case. It all depends on how each and every variable is set-up and utilized. A great example would be, an automatic car with a large sized rear DR or Slick; that set-up will not duplicate what you see in this video, even with twice the HP.

Although that set-up is not for everyone, nor in everyone's best interest both financially and performance-wise, that is a great alternative. Good luck, you'll enjoy it I am sure!
If you have any questions about suspension for the S197, don't hesitate to ask. :beer: Welcome!
Thanks for the vids..
op: for the BMR vid...since thats what I have
op: for the BMR vid...since thats what I have op: i have my reasons
Exactly what I have except mine are in MC Hammertone :-D
MC Hammertone........BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I actually have a distributor who sends over orders, and everytime its for Hammertone, she types "BMR-CAB005: Stop....Hammertone!"
lol
:lol: :beer:
That's what Ive always been told. Im curious as to why guys that say they dont car about "looks", just "speed" will lower their cars or tell you to lower yours to get rid of the 4x4 look, then they take the spare tire out of their trunk to get a better 1/4 ET. Im sure many more guys on the forums here are more concerned with 1/4 times that Road coarse racing. Correct ME if IM wrong.
RC
In for next vid
MC Hammertone........BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
