Default Changing from Trans mounted TQ Arm

I have an adjustable BMR Tq Arm and has been doing pretty well (1.43 60'), but wonder if I should be looking at getting it off the transmission. Anyone seen gains/problems from doing this?

Thanks
Jason

Most of the cars we work with have seen gains in the short arm, not necessarily in et, but in consistency. If nothing else, relocating the arm will do wonders for the life of the trans!

Give us a call for all of your suspension needs. We have a proven working setup, the highest quality, and the best prices. You can easily sell off what you have and not have to spend too much out of pocket to get a better setup. The MWC double adjustable tunnel mounted torque arm package starts at 375.00 and includes a driveshaft loop!

We always recommend getting it off of the trans, and using a relocation crossmember. This takes the stress off of your transmission tailshaft and mount and lets the arm pull directly up against the chassis of the car. You should see some minor gains in 60' times just due to there being less absorbed energy on the launch from it having to pull on another rubberized mount. The only disadvantage is most people report a slight increase in NVH transmittance into the car. But usually the benefits outweigh the slight increase in cabin noise
