i am looking into TQ arms and dont really know which one to go with. i like Madmans and Wolfes but BMR's trak pak is basically the same thing but cheaper. i am running a 6spd and Im going to be launching the car HARD 6k+

I've had the trak-pak on my car for 2 days now, and so far i'm not that impressed. It hangs down extremely low.

I personally would take the car to madman and let him fab one up for your car. He can fab it around the exhaust and make it tuck real well. If I'd had the money a week ago, I would've just had madman put his on my car. (And may do so in the future anyways, I'm not so sure this trak-pak is going to hold up to the abuse of a hard hitting 6 speed)

I'm not familiar with the wolfe torque arm, so I can't give any thoughts on it.

Lot of 1.4s on the stock arm here. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Madman!

It's strong, and it works. More adjustability than any other out there.

Ok, here is the low down on a TQ arm and a six speed. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

I race more than anyone on this site and have gone through a couple of TQ arms. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Madman gets my vote. It has more adjustability than any other one on the market. I have over 200 6,500 rpm lanuches and have never broke the arm its self. Now, I have had bolt come out but that is fixed and will never happen again.(star wars mod) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Spend the money on the best. You will not be sorry. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />

I run the BMR extreme duty and I am more than happy with it.

It is easy to adjust and more than strong enough.

Just FYI...Madman's new Gen torque Arm will be 3x's stronger than his old one (Like it needed to get stronger right??!!!!???) and he was able to do that w/only 1/2lb gain. Look for a Tech write up and pics to show up on the site soon...I'm too lazy to drive 50miles after work to his place or I'd have the pics already.

Many low-mid 1.4 60' on my BMR torque arm (best of 1.43). I have bent the bracket that bolts it to the rearend, but this was because one of the bolts had backed out (not BMRs fault).

ok thanks guys, im glad some of you awesome 6spds came in here <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I too am in the market for a Torq arm but I am not driving all the way to Texas for one. I am running a catback on my SS so I just can't buy one from MAdman because his only fits cars with true duals UNLESS I drive my car down to him and have one custom made. I live in Ohio. Ohio to Texas is a bit far just for a torq arm. I guess I am caught between a rock and a hard place here. Looks like a Spohn or BMr for me. The BMr does look a bit low though. I drive my SS all the time on the street so I can't lose a lot of clearance.

my car is lowered about 1" all around, and the crossmember on my BMR Torque Arm has about 2 inches of ground clearance.

Madmans torque arm is strong enough to lift our car 8 foot high in a wheelie and it still did not break,
We vote for the Madman TQ arm

I'm not quite in the 10's but my newsetup is easily capable of it if I decide to spray again. BUT I did switch to a Spohn TQ arm because i broke 3 tailshafts off my tranny which eventually let to failure because of the stupid stock unit being attached to the tailshaft. I broke every single one on the dyno as had a few others like Patrick G. I didnt want to take any more chances so with Spohn I went. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I have read some posts about guys breaking the Spohn units, but Spohn did back up his products. I think I may go with the Spohn. Anyone got some pics of one installed on a M6 car non-lowered. See my sig, this will go on my 99 SS.

Im using a spohn one. If I break it though, Im calling Madman. Have had it for a while. Before I knew how well the madman one works.

I sold my Spohn and bought a Madman torque arm. We installed the MadMan arm yesterday and it's unbelievable as far as adjustability and craftsmanship. Hopefully we'll be out trying to break it in a month or so.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Consistent 1.44-1.45's on STOCK torque arm here. No need for the High dollar torque arm so far. Will my car really get a better 60ft if I change the torque arm now? How much better .01-.05?? I don't think it's worth the money. At least not yet.
