Has anyone got any pics of Madmans torque arm on a car? I've never seen one mounted, and am curious what makes it the bast T/A available. How does the crossmember mount, to the SFCs or the floor? Thanks, Shawn

I have BMR boxed SFCs, what I'm trying to figure out is will this TA work with those SFCs? Does the crossmember mount to the SFCs, the floor, or what?

Thanks, Shawn

Pictures aren't happening.. the crossmember welds to the SFC's, either tubular our square..

It's sort of an unwritten rule, you just don't publish pics of stuff like that

FWIW, I have boxed BMR SFC's and the torque arm welded right up.. forget any exhaust other than bullets though..

doesn't he run the tq arm in the black Camaro???? If he does he has pics of it on his site...

yeah, but that's just the everyday torque arm, nothing like the "star wars-level 10" torque arm that the fast cars run.. smartass

yeah that's the old school TA. Like Brady said, the new one is like generation 10.

JurisAg02

kinda works like a "3-link" setup

apparantly it works...I will be calling MADMAN soon about this piece

I have the "star wars-level 10" torque arm. I think I might have had the 1st one built.

lol. Yeah, I guess I am a smartass.

Although...the pics do say "10th generation" on them....

Whats the difference? Where the crossmember is? This maybe? ->

Hmm, doesn't look like the one in the pics either. The crossmember is different and the...oh nevermind.

Faithful Madman Star Wars Level 10 "tark arm" user.

I just have a problem with plopping down $700 for a torque arm that I cannot see thats all. I'm not asking for the molecular structure and makeup of chromium magnesealytelatetalopiocoxide or anything like that. Oh well, I'll keep looking for pics of Bigfoot, Loch Ness monster, the Fountain of youth, and the Madman T/A. I'll post up when I find something.

What's with all the secret, hush, hush, stuff?

Is this T/a going to revolutionize the LS1 industry or something?

Guess I just got the old 'plain jane' Plan 9 from Outer Space (not quite as good as Star Wars) Madman torque arm. It works ok. Kinda odd on the street with the fixed front heim, but it works. It is welded between some LG subframe connectors. We had to extend one side of the crossbar to get to the SFC tho.

And I run a full Y-pipe with it. 3" Y to Flowmaster 3 1/2" collector, 3 1/2" cutout, 3" over-axle, with SLP 2OTL. Works great, no clearance problems. Futral's an artist.

The Madman Black Camaro was originally owned & built by Jay Billingsley of Decatur Illinois. The TA on his car was built by Burkhart Chassis, thats why it doesnt look like the rest of the TA's out there. There might be 5 or 6 of them out there. Check out his site and look at the pictures of his products and compare them to the pics from Madman. www.billingsleyracing.biz

I aint trying to start anything. Call Jay or Brian. Brian's 89 Camaro was the 2003 "King of the 'Cane Fields" Champ at Thunder Shootout. ran 9.0's with an LT1

I'm gonna have to get a new TA. I have Madmans GEN 1 TA. Talk about old school. Even though it was good enough for 1.34 60's.

I agree WTF is up with all the secrecy. I have been wondering about the Madman TA. I hear they are badass, and that is pretty much it.
