The GW A arms are not specifically built for drag racing, unlike the TRZ tubular A arms. The GW arms are just aftermarket tubular replacements and are heavier than the stock A arms too.

As has been said, you need longer ball joints at a minimum, maybe a steering box and wheel alignment at ride height too.

BTW, while the Del Alum bushings from a number of aftermarket suppliers are trick, the same result can be accomplished with aftermarket poly graphite bushings which is what my former car had, using emery cloth, a drill and 2 zerk fittings...
