I am sure it will for awhile.

It all depends on how often you go to the track. Most of the serious drag racers on this site run the Madman TQ.


Good luck to ya and let us know how it works out for ya.

hey now coach, some of us believe in BMR and have had excellent luck with it, I'm one of them

is the TQ arm in the track pack the weld in one with the cross brace that doesn't attatch to the trans? that's what I have and I love it, excellent piece.

if that's the one the answer is yes it'll hold up to those sixty foots no problem

Yep another BMR fan here too. The BMR Extreme is fantastic. Taner went 1.29 with it. I have one waiting to go into my car with the new combo.

I've got an old LG Motorsports TQ and launch hard 1.37 60's with it. From looking at the BMR piece I would say its as good if not better than the LG one I have.

Hey Guys I like the BMR stuff. I have alot of it on the Hot Rod. I just think the Madman TQ is the best because of it's strength and adjustablity.

I make over 300 passes a year and I need stuff to hold up. Thats all.

BMR will hold up just fine...but make sure you have an anti-roll bar.

Which anti-roll bar do you guys recommend? I can get a good deal on BMR drag race bar, so thats the one i was looking at. I have a 1 inch addco bar now and it's not geeting the job done.

I put about 5000 miles of street driving on my car now. From what i've seen Madman's torque Arm dose not look too street friendly, with a fixed front mount.

They way Madman sets it up you have a bunch different settings to move the arm around.

Again the BMR set up is great but with Madmans arm you have more adjustments to tune the the car.

I run the bmr but have seen madmans bar. I have to say that bar is in a different league. Does madman deliver the bar himself and go to the track with ya to set it up? lol

Does Madman supply any instruction on how to adjust the torque arm for best performance?

then again Madmans bar is TWO TIMES the price of the BMR Track pack and $200 more than the Xtreme BMR setup.
I'm trying to decide on which to get right now

Anyone here have experience with the Spohn torque arm that dosen't connect to the transmission? I'm going to be looking for 1.3's minimum with it. 300 Noszle out of the hole.
