What do you want to accomplish? This is a very general question. Do you have an ET in mind? With a little more info we can assist in designing a setup for you.

I want the car to hook fairly well and make sure im using every hp available. This is a DD so i don't need any race car only parts. I want to cut some really good 60 ft's around 1.6x.

Hello,

We make a few different options on a torque arm depending on your set-up and exhaust. Our full list of torque arms can be seen here- http://www.umiperformance.com/produc...ategory_id=130

We also offer relocation brackets for the Moser rear end which can be seen here- www.umiperformance.com/2011

If you need any help choosing the correct items please ask and I am glad to help.

Thank you!
Ryan

So just drag radials? What about a torque arm, relocation brackets or even SFC's?

I always recommend relocation brackets, they are a very inexpensive traction device and do wonders for low t0 mid HP cars. For the torque arm what headers and y-pipe are you currently using?

SFC, LCA relo brackets, dump the STB, unhook the front sway bar at the track. Get better tires. That should get you into the range you want.
