Re: This is what I done to the Spohn Torque Arm!
Wow! That sucks. I have the same arm and love it.
With my A4 the best 60-ft is only 1.80. Now I have
ET Streets and a little more HP so hopefully I will see a 1.60-ft without the bending!
BTW - Did the driveshaft loop work and keep the driveshaft from jumping around?

Re: This is what I done to the Spohn Torque Arm!
Yes the loop held in the shaft I have a scratch that goes around the shaft from scraping. I might need to get it re-balanced. I'm thinking that an automatic will be a little nicer to the TA. I was shooting 100 shot of the line with 55000 RPM dumps. I was told the wheels where coming up 6 to 8 inches. Even with slicks I was not hooking in 1st or 2nd very well. The last run I have the tires down to 10 pounds.

I see you're in Iowa, did you do that at Tri-State or Cedar Falls? I usually run at those tracks. If so, maybe we can meet up sometime.

I live in MN,but frequent the tracks in IA because they hook better and have cool staff. Though this year is a different story, I haven't went at all. I should be going in the next couple of weeks.

Re: This is what I done to the Spohn Torque Arm!

Man, I meant to be at Tri-state yesterday. Now I wish i would have gone. My front tires are nearly gone and I didnt want to risk the drive there and back on them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Let me know next time you're going.

Here is the parts I have on the car in my sig. I'm looking at the MADMAN TQ arm now.
