now just give Brian a call and order one. I'll post pics tomorrow if I get a chance..

Thanks, Shawn
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..

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.

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.

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
