i noticed one day that the tires werent even spaced in the wheel wells and after some quick measuring with a fist and some fingers it surely was off , big time ...three fingers on passenger side to rocker and a fist on drivers

the fix was he cut the welds loose with a whizzer wheel and used a ratchet straps to pull the rear into alignment measured carefully to points on the frame then rewelded the brackets
hes been going straight out of the hole since
Did he notice any difference in his 60' after he did that or did it just correct his launch?

Yes, that 9.59 run my 60' was 1.393. Thankfully moving those contorl arms and resetting everything didn't effect my times. I was worried moving those lower south side bars up to the stock postion was going to have an ill effect on the short time. I did reset the pinion angle and I had e-mailed Paul Ferry for the instructions for the HR bar. He told me that most guys leave it neutral, but for my application to have a preload of two turns with me in the car. It worked perfect, went down straight and launched great.

Next year we will work on getting it lower.

BTW, again, awesome et and mph Sam!
