Default BMR Torque arm question for you guys

Guys,

I am trying to decide between the BMR trak pak and the Extreme duty torque arm. Car will be running in the high 10 second range with hook probably in the 125-127mph range with the six speed.

Will the trak pak be adequate or will the extreme be necessary?

Thanks guys,



Chris

Taner - your opinion on this would be greatly appreciated

getting ready? My buddy has an lt1 car and had Billinglsly make him one almost 2 years ago. It went back several times, but it does work good. real low 1.4 60's. Last i heard was billingsly is using the wolfe now. I myself have seen 3 aftermarket tq arms break. 2 m6 1 auto. The auto broke the tailshaft off the tranny and both m6's snapped the arm. I would go bmr xtreme, or the wolfe. But if you wanna go the cheap way out i hear the spohn works real well.

I am going to stick with BMR but am not sure which one.

I'll probably be going faster than 10's next two year so I should probably get the burly piece

I use Madmans Tq arm with no problem at all. With a 6-speed and 6,500 rpm dumps you hit everything very hard. Just something to think about.
