Talking Madman is the ****!!!!!!!!!

Went out to Moroso tonight on my 2+ year old, pretty much bald futura street radials just to dick around cuz I just got the car back from having my new Madman torque arm installed thursday and well I was pretty much dead hooking!!!!!!

Came out harder each time, here's the progression in the passes (also have an electrical problem, so I don't know if my shift points were right, was goin by sound as best as possible, cuz my tach was jumping around like it was on crack, but i'll have that solved before next weekend!!!!)

Pass #1 -

2.008
5.149
7.691
96.85
9.875
11.721
122.16


Pass #2 -

1.840
4.938
7.476
96.90
9.663
11.510
122.14


Pass #3 -

1.798
4.891
7.427
97.01
9.612
11.459
122.11


I can not believe it was hooking like this on my street tires!!!! I can't wait till next weekend to test her out on the new slicks off the t-brake on spray!!!!! I could've come out harder, she may even have held a converter flash off the line that's how good she was hooking!!!! Looks like I don't really need anything more than my street tires if i'm gonna just run motor, hehe!!! I mean on the average night at moroso with my old t/a on my 28" ET Drags I would usually cut mid - low 1.7's on motor and be lucky if I could get into the 1.6's!!!! I bet with a bit more practice I could get my cruddy *** street tires into the 1.6's!!!!!

Anyways, Madman is the ****, i'm so happy I spent the money and bought his arm, and i'll let you all know how she does next weekend off the t-brake on spray with my new slicks!!!!

Someone else, it would've been a very costly trip to trailer the car from south florida to texas to have it installed. I wish I had more passes to dick around last night, I would've liked to come off the t-brake and see if the street tires held it just for ***** and giggles!!! They may have, I was actually having a hard time holding my burnout, damn things were hooking and pushing through my front brakes, it was rediculous, kind of felt like I was on my slicks!!!!

do you have a pic of it?

where does it mounts in the front? or how?

just asking to see if it would clear a true duals setup...

His has at least 2-3 adjusting points, on it..Which will set it up more precise, than other arm's.

Sorry, no pics, and I didn't install it, so I really don't know how it goes in, but from my understanding it was built with true duals in mind, so it should clear, but if not, just bend it around it!
