Default TA - tunnel or X-mount for HANDLING?

OK, so I still have some wheel hop after adj. PHB, adj, LCA, shocks, Samie sways, etc.

I have some older LT headers - FLPs, Y-Pipe, etc.

Which torque arm is best for handling (1) tunnel mounted "short" TA, or (2) a transmission mounted (or cross over transmission) TA?

If the transmission cross-over mounted TA is best, will it interfere with the LT headers and Y-pipe?

Short TA's move the instant center rearward which is not what you want for balance upon accelerating from corners. And they transmit more noise because they are bolted to sheetmetal floorpans.

Stay full length, you have no fitment issues. If you just gotta have the TA off the tranny, we'll run a TA relocation bracket that still uses a full length TA and doesn't interfere with exhausts as it's a replacement transmission crossmember (and you have one of those already in place, we just change it to this so the TA can mount to it and not the transmission itself).

Sam:

Ok, thanks.

Which UMI TA and re-location bracket fits this profile? As discussed above, I have FLP LT headers and Y-ipe.
