Im using it, and my car is full weight. I like it alot, and it works well, even with my Moser 9" rear. 1.6-1.7 60 ft times on 255/50/16 MT DR's. Its very nice for the price. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask.

I have never had any wheelhop whatsoever with this Torque arm. The car hooks surprisingly well on the street as well, even on street tires. I went from cutting 2.0 60fts to 1.6's consistantly with the addition of Strange SA front shocks, and the Jegster Torque arm...with the same tires.

I personally would add a plate inside the triangle on the arm to reinforce it. I would also use another saddle-shaped plate to sandwich the floorboard to install the mount, and possibly weld it. I've heard of people (who may or may not have installed it properly) ripping gashes in the tunnel sheet metal.

Thanks for the heads up, i had never heard of that. I heard a few people damaging the T/A itself but never ripping the floor apart. I would think it would be hard to actually rip it because the saddle used for mounting is a very large piece, and quite sturdy...perhaps if not installed correctly so it wasn't flush to the floor, or if the bolts weren't tight enough. After also using a couple other Trans-tunnel mounted Torque arms on other cars, I honestly don't see how this design of mounting to the chassis is any weaker.
