Default Installing MADMAN Torque Arm???

What sets of holes did you guys use for your first passes, or what works best for you guys. I have NO IDEA where to start.

3800 stall T400 with a transbrake
3300 lb car
coming off the line with a 150 shot, on 28X11.5X15 QTP's

LIGHT AS HECK compared to my Mild Steel Spohn T/A, now i just need a bad boy anti roll bar probably gonna build one off a comp engineering Anti roll bar.

Madman would be the best one to get advice on regarding his torque arm, but...

I'd start off with a "neutral" setting. That is, somewhere in the middle of the adjustment range. You can change the position of the arm around with the different mounting points to change the instant center of the chassis... Generally, if the arm is pointed downward, you have less initial leverage from the torque arm, and vice versa. I'd start off with the rear in the upper mounting holes, and the front adjusted so that it is as close as possible to parallel with the ground (with the car resting on the suspension, of course).

Again, YMMV, and Brian would be the best to answer... I need to talk to that old nut sometime myself...
