They are both good and solid parts with people have good success with them.
I've watched Tanner beat on the BMR Xtreme for plenty of borderline 1.2x/1.3x 60's.
I think Tom Kempf may have gone to the Wolfe TA this year when he changed out the rear sway bar setup. He certainly has exercised the hard launches this year too.
The adjustability is probably pretty similar. So the real measurable difference is would be the weight of the two parts. Anyone have an a guess on the weight???

I figure one is probable as good or close. But i think this comes in as a "you get what you pay for"

Well...no probably not, just offering a suggestion. 
Its like anything else...there's competitive, then there's the top of the heap. Chris Marsh runs a stock shortblock N2O car around here to bottom 1.3's with a Wolfe. Just FYI.

I also know a madman tq arm for sale for 350, but i didnt realy car for it. Like Sean said, that is JMO.
I think i'll wait to see the wolffe and go from there.

Noyzee -
I had been PM'ing Ken at Eastside since he had it listed on the board for sale about that Madman TA. Just wondering what made you "not care for it". Since I can't see it in person other than in the photos, and i've seen a Spohn and a BMR Xtreme Duty.

It is a nice piece, I just personly didnt care for it. I havent seen the one Ken has.
I had seen another one, i didnt care for it because to me it looked unfinished. it wasnt painted, the welds had some slag on them. it just didnt fit what i want. I show my car alot to, so the parts i get not only have to perform, but look good to.
Im not saying it is a bad piece, i know it probably works GREAT, it just doesnt fit my needs.
And PM's to ken will take for ever. you better off to call him at the shop.

I dont know where the $1200.00 T/A came from. I would love to see that piece. My T/A sells for $800.00. Its all chromemoly(TIG welded) so there isnt any SLAG. There has been 12 generations of my arms since 1996. The new units are obviously different in material sizes. We ship the arms painted not powdercoated because you cannot inspect welds and tubing with the powdercoat on it.
MADMAN- Sorry if I was wrong. I PMed you ~ 1 month ago, and thought you said that the latest and greatest T/A was $1200+ shipped. So you're saying that the absolute best top of the line T/A you offer is $800? Any pics? Which one are you using now, the one with the "slider" or the one with the heim joint?
Thanks, Shawn

I personally find the BMR Extreme to be fantastic but I am only trying to hook a 465RWHP car and not a 1000RWHP car LOL

I just didnt care for the MM T/A, just my opinion and opinions are like *** holes. just was not for me. it was a year or so ago, so maybe the new ones are different.
I have seen the bmr but have not seen the wolffe. so i guess i'll wait and see.
