Default What torque arm do you reccomend for 11's?

I have already had a problem with a broken tailshaft housing...the car is also lowered.

I don't know how long the car will remain lowered, but I do not want any more problems with the transmission. I was looking at the BMR trak pak. How do you guys feel about this piece?

What will work with a lowered car with sportlines, but also at stock ride height with Hals.

The car could see possible 10 sec passes in the future...so I want to buy a piece that will work fine for time slips into the 10's as well.

The car has a Moser 12 bolt as well.

Thanks guys!!

I have had the BMR for 4 years and no problems. One thing to consider, There is not a true dual system that will work with an aftermarket TA that is not mounted to the tailshaft of the trans. Not a big deal but something to think about.

What exhaust do you have. You have just about the same setup that I have.

I have the same heads and a 230/236 cam. I have Loudmouth w/ Hooker LT's ORP. I was looking at maybe doing duals in the future, and my car is lowered....but I may be taking the springs off in the future to put on some Hals.

Do you have a aftermarket TA.

How many of you think that it is safe to go well into the 11's and high 10's with a tailshaft mounted TA. Are most of them not rated past 11.0 in the 1/4?

Thanks for the feedback...keep it coming.

From what I gather though....there is no True Dual setup that will work with the BMR Trak Pak is there

What kind of power did your car make? If you don't mind me asking?

A custom true dual system will work. I have a BMR non adjustable TR and it works fine with my exhaust.

Is it tailshaft mounted i assume it is since its non adjustable. if not which BMR do you have? the only ones i saw that would fit are the TQ/A's built within the stock diminsions. ie.----> trans mounted

Yes, it is the tailshaft mounted.
It is extremely tight but it does work. If I had to redo it, I would have bought a spohn crossmember mount and had the exhaust guy work around it.

I made 435RWHP and 409RWTQ. That was leaving some on the table. Spent most of the year with trans issues. I hope that is fixed now. Just test drove the new SPEC S4F today. Install was easier than I thought.

I probably would have done the same thing. its hard trying to find a Torque arm that is relocated off the tailshaft that will work with duals for under $1,000

Custom built mount
I have the BMR adjustable T/A that mounted to the tranny tail shaft. I then remove the tranny mount off of the tranny and built a mount that is welded onto the tranny cross brace using the same mount. BMR is working on making a new tranny cross member that will mount the T/A to.
