Default Gullwing Front A-Arm Purpose?

Could someone explain to me what a gullwing front A-arm brings to the table? I've got a stadium truck that I'm currently running straight arms on but I see most of the fast guys with gullwing arms. What are they gaining that I'm not?

Thanks.

Are you thinking of gullwing arms for the T4.2? That bend down towards the ground in the middle/shock mounting area? As opposed to swept arms that go back?

If gullwings there is discussion in the T4.2 thread, including on the last page. If I'm not mistaken most have found the gullwings to be more aggressive, but I suspect it may depend on track conditions and the rest of the chassis setup.

Yes that is what I'm referring too. I guess I had the terms wrong. Thanks for the clarification and the link to that thread.
