Default best tq arm for wheels up launches?

wanting to know the best torque arm for pulling the fronts,tunnel mnt"short arm" or relocation mnt with "long arm".This being the car has about 360-400rwhp and all the other suspension goodies,lca's,ajustable shocks with drag springs,sub frames,no sway bar etc.I am under the impression the shorter tunnel mnt hits the tires harder but less wheelie and the longer arm promotes more of a wheelie? any info would be great i know wheelies arent the best for e.t. but man it looks cool as hell

thanks guy's i will look into madmans set-ups.I will definently get the tq arm off the tranny as i have already had one bust through the floor board on my third gen after busting loose from the trans.Not to mention having to replace my tranny mount a million times do to the extra stress the tq puts on it.I like the look of the bmr trans swap cross member for the th-400 as i will be swapping my rmvb,t-braked 400 in the next couple of weeks.Thats the motivation for the tq arm questions.Just really could'nt make up my mind on the tq arm set-up,long with the relocation bracket,or the tunnel mnt shorter arm.thanks for all the info guy's

i like my spohn body mount. it seems to transfer weight really well, pull the front up decently. i also have a th400, i can tell you it makes life a LOT easier for pulling the trans and stuff with the body mount

Where can i find madman products?Looked on the sponser listings and could'nt find anything ,can anyone put me in contact with them or let me know where to find this equipment.Anyone running madman stuff with some pics?I thank everyone for the reply's and suggestions, its hard to choose components with so many good products out there,just my opinion.I am sure there is alot of brand loyalty out there but to those of you that have tried different company's stuff and found reasons to like one over another and you share the reasons why,it allows people like me to make the best choice possible with out trial and error,so thanks for all the input!

Yea, Madman is at Thunder Racing.
If your exhuast is not in the way, that would be my first choice for sure.
The higher you raise the front attach point the more the front end will raise.
