Moving the upper control arm as you suggest would do three things,
assuming nothing else was adjusted:

1. Give you more negative camber, and give you more adjustment range
towards negative camber
2. Increase the camber curve (suspension compression gives you
increasing negative camber)
3. Increased anti-dive on the front brakes (because suspension
compression is working against the torque applied by the calipers)

As I understand it this modification was pretty common on Tigers that
were autocrossed. Locally, Dick Auchinleck's Tiger has the holes...
