Looks like a nice drag set up. BTW... Nice times and trap speed for that power level.

Sounds good, but if you plan on going much faster, just save some extra money and get the cross brace mounted torque arm. Once you launch harder and get faster you will not want it on your trans tailshaft!

I run a spohn chromeoly, using the tunnel mounted tq are eases up a ton of stress on the tailshaft of your trans, specially with a 6spd. I ran a spec3 in my last car and had no problems with it.

I have the BMR xtreme t/a. It is a very nice piece, but if you are going to spend the money, check out your other options like the MADMAN t/a!

If you are worried about the tailshaft you can just use one of our relocation kits with the full length torque arm.

If this car is DD I highly recomend you not get the HAL's, at times theyre down right scarry on the HWY. Since its looking like you want good strip performance, the rest of the list looks good.
