Default Anyone running faster then 11 flat with BMR torque arm?

I'm looking for a torque arm and noticed that BMR says not to run their arm below 11 flat due to the tailshaft not being up to the task. What do all of you think of this?

I think you need a Madman Tq arm. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

That limitation only applies to the full length tq arm. Not the trak pak version or the extreme. I am running the full length on my car at 11.2 with 1.5 sixty foot times without a problem.

Yes I'm talking about the regular length arm. I know the track pack heavy duty one will take it.

That must be the smaller torque arm, i'm running BMR's extreme torque arm into the 9's without a single issue. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I found it by accident while putting the exhaust back on.

My 60' average is 1.44-1.46. Best has been a bunch of 1.42's. Take care.
