In the lights it makes your car like it has a much
larger tire.. which gives you a longer rolling start..
I have 3/4" stagger in my car which helps being I run
a fairly short tire
EDIT
Also if you do it.. set the right tire back.. the left
side wants to lift first because of the torque and
that keeps the right tire on the ground longer

Increased RT and reduced ET from having more roll out is the main reason guys do it.

I have a set of A body factory upper control arms that were modified to give an inch of extra stagger. Pretty trick setup whoever did it.

What they did was offset the ball joint locations. Forward on one and rearward on the other.

Anyone has any interest in them I will probably put them in the classified for sale when I get the chance.

It was a "secret" mod that the stock and super stock racers used in 60s and 70s. One of many
