torque arms

[nino]

when i emailed bmr he said he did not recommend one for my car. i am still puzzled about that. edelbrock has one on sale now for less than $150 shipped. how can it be so much less than bmrs or spohns? would this benefit our cars? or should i stay clear of torque arms and save my money for something else?

Just one thing to note, I don't know if you have a 1 piece driveshaft but if you don't you'll have to change the torque arm. The reason is because the center support bearing for the 2 piece connects to the torque arm.

Should you get a torque arm? From what I understand you need one if you're running a decent amount of power. I have a Mac torque arm. It has a plate that you bolt up to the "U" shaped part of the floor. I didn't explain that well. But the torque arm bolts up to the plate instead of the transmission. I run some pretty decent times, actually better then what I should be running and I believe that to be because of the toque arm. I don't know what the Edlebrock looks like but 150 is a good price. I don't want to say get it or don't get it though because I'm not an expert, but it could only help.

I personally spent the $20 on a poly bushing and saved the rest for other mods.

I really don't think an upgraded arm is needed for the power that we put out. The main weakness is in the soft rubber bushing.

The stock torque arm can take you to 12s without hesitation, add a poly bushing if you want it to react faster [img]smile.gif[/img]
