Definitely MadMan's Arm. You can't beat it for strength and adjustability, and he'll give you free 24 hour/day tech support for life.

For race car stuff I see most people run wolfe or madmans arm, I would have to say go with madmans arm, it is more adjustable that the wolfe TA.

If it must be longer than stock I would see if any of the above mentioned builders will make you a custom torque arm. Most shelf units are stock length or shorter.

The only area that Madman's is more adjustable is that he has double adjuster at both the top and bottom of the rear of the tq arm. We make housing bracket that has mounting holes 1" higher and 1" lower for the rear mount of the tq arm. WE don't have it on the site right now, but will be getting it up soon.

Just stating a point, if you don't have the stuff on your site we won't be able to put the word out for you, obviously you guys make really nice stuff, but if it isn't advertised only choice is to recommend some one who is offering it.

BTW when are you guys going to have photos of your 25.2 cage for f-body's?:hijack:

You are correct Chris and will get it up. I have sold a couple Dave Bowman (outlaw) has one. I'm going to betting on welded up this week and get it listed on our site.

As soon as the 25.2 and 25.5 are completed they will be up and available. We just haven't had the time to get the car in the shop and finish it up. We are doing it to my car during spare time. But also have to have room in the shop.

I know dave, saw him race in bakersfield at famoso this august, he recommended your stuff to me.

I haven't really looked at the site much lately, but a few people asked me about your bottom mounted adjustable spring perch, there is only a photo of the upper one.

If you have a double mount in the rear of the torque arm I would have pics of that too.

Pretty much anything I buy I would like to see a photo and photo of it installed. I see the upper adjustable shock mounts, but not the lower.

Hopefully you have photos of the 25.2 cages, from what I have seen advertised you guys have the best kit cage online, sure would persuade use happy drag racers to buy one if you had some photos for us to ohh and ahh over :)

Just a question, I was looking at the design of your torque arm, was wondering since you have two brackets that attaches the torque arm to the cross member, I noticed it has a single set of holes.

Ever thought of running a wider bracket and staggering the set of holes so there is two sets like they do on the newer style 4 link brackets?

Instead of 3 holes in front you'd have 6 but since they stagger you only change the hight 1/2 as much each adjustment.

If you have a 5 hole bracket, then you'd have 10 holes in front and 2 adjustments in back giving you 20 possible intersection points.

Same thing could be done to madmans arm, run two sets of holes in the front since his uses a slider setup.

Just an idea I know you'd never use all the holes but it would make tuning in finer adjustments.

BTW you giving any 25.2 cages away for christmas I asked santa and he hasn't email me back yet :jest:

Looking at choosing between the Madman and the Wolfe. Couldn't find any pics of the Burkhart. Madmans has a loop and Wolfe has a 20% off. Dam, I hate deciding.

Thats pretty close to previous four link cars that Ive had. What kind of power does it make. I'd be happy to get into the high twentys with the stock susp. With the Madman T/A does the front end lift hard on the launch or do you have to use limiters?

powerwise I'm not sure, the car has only been on the dyno once. But it should be making in the nieghborhood of around 1700-1800rwhp. I only lifted the front-end high once on the car. Now we put limiters on it and really doesn't even lift the front end, just wieght transfers and goes.
