Drag Racing Tech - How fast did you take your FACTORY Torque Arm?

Just outta curiosity i just wanted to see how fast some people went with their Factory Torque Arm time and 60ft and if you know your weight. my car was full weight with an iron block and it went 10.29 with a 1.39 60 at full weight i know this is prolly a stupid idea to go that fast with it but it worked it didnt break so. just wanted to see what the fastest time ever was on one of these were

6.0's in the 1/8th at 3400 raceweight

full weight TA went 26 inch tall slick went 1.42 60ft and 10.23 1/4 mile with a 10 bolt 150 shot of spray.

Full weight SS 1.45 60ft 10.57 on a 26X8.5 et street and still looking for more...:devil:

still mounted to tail shaft housing ???

I know of a guy whos been 4.90's with one.. Its in a third generation car though, so I dont know how much different they are from the fourth generation cars. I know a friend of mine tore up a factory torque arm with a bolton LS1 car.. *shrug*

1.47's on the factory torque arm and 10-bolt N/A. Stalled A3 here...

Pretty sure thats flat getin it with a stock part, what was the rest of the setup in the rear? must be a autos also i would imagine.

Stalled A3 here. Above post edited...

Had a customer running 9.90's with one but started to develop problems 30-40' out the torque arm would bend then spring back and unload the car :eek2:

Any questions just ask :D

5.56@125 with a 1.29 60ft

Took the TA off and welded a 1in pipe down the length of it and welded the front bracket up so it couldn't split apart and added a bar that went to crossmember to help not brake the tail housing. It was a stock ta though.

Still have one.

Mine is, with a rubber bushing still too. I have been thinking about buying a crossmember though..

I went 10.60s on mine, in a stalled A3. This was quite awhile ago though.

WOW that's pretty impressive that tailshaft housing has held in there:hail:

Mine broke early. It did not like slicks.

i went 10.6s 1.46-1.48 60ft full weight lt1 with stock everything on the suspension no front sway bar,on a 28x10 tire.

I got to see a video of this. That is straight flyin for a stock arm. 8's on a stock arm is nuts.
