Default Looking for a recomendation on a race only torque arm

Looking for a race torque arm for my 4th gen drag car. Longer than stock. Adjustable, strong and good finish.

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.
