Yes but not very much. about 4° over the entire travel. This is due to the pivot points not being on a straight plane to the axle. For a drag car, it's not too bad. It's WAY better than the folts swing axle set-up it replaced. This is because the pivot points are a lot farther outside than the stock swing axles are. The toe change was severe too. Now it's not!
At ride height, there's about 1/2° positive camber. I built them with about 1 to 1.5° positive camber at ride height to factor in some flex.

Check out Adelle and Steve's car in the 'in da werks' section as they had some fantastic a-arms made by Wayne Allman at the Intergallictic Custom Shop. Great design with zero camber change. The only thing I would change on the design is to make a provision for adjusting the camber for initial setup. I am sure Wayne would make you a set. His work is some of the best around

Hi Frallan. It's in da werks section entitled: 'my new car for next year'. It's by Adelle Vw Bit of an update.. A arm in the making, the bearing housing is cut from a stock VW IRS arm so bearings are easily available and I can use my existing RLR/Strange brakes. 3/4 built arms Locating mounts tacked into position for mock up Not sure on final ride height yet..
