if you want to run true duals with an x pipe in the future, or are running that now... get a BMR or random tech adjustable arm.

Madman or Wolfe is my vote. You won't ever have to upgrade again.

Of all the chassis comps, I feel the SLP adjustable H/D torque arm is a good piece, and helped to eliminate my wheel hop

yeah they will fit, but they are trans mounted. chassis mount TAs are known to be better. Alston is a good choice for duals and is chassis mounted.

I look how the UMI setup looks. Very tough looking.

With a 12 Bolt the ONLY way to go is Madman & Co. Racing...Brian's torque arm is nearly indestructable and the majority of all the fastest Fbody's in the country are using it.

Another vote for Madman from me. I plan to be making about 1600 hp at the wheels and i'm going with his.

For the full length adjustable torque arms we offer a torque arm relocation bracket to remove the stress off the transmission tail housing http://www.bmrfabrication.com/misc/TCC006.jpg If you are wanting a more serious torque arm we offer our extreme torque arm, it connects directly to the subframe connectors for maximum strength http://www.bmrfabrication.com/Xtreme/XTA001.jpg this is the same torque arm in Rick Heads twin turbo 3rd gen camaro. His car has run a best of 7.66@186 on drag radials If you have any questions please feel free to email me or just give me a call..

If the Naperville you live in is Naperville, IL I wouldn't hesitate to give Jay @ Billingsley Racing a call and have him Fabricate up a Torque Arm for you. He did mine, and I'm very pleased with it.

I have had pretty good luck with the BMR trans crossmember/torque arm relocation mount and a random tech torque arm. No ground clearance issues, no exhaust clearance issus, just as quiet as stock, seems to be holding up fine with 100 passes so far and several 1.39x 60's and a 3300lb car, depends how fast you plan on going..

can someone give me a link to the alston TA?

I just blew away my little Edelbrock TA this past weekend. I am running TD's, a 9", and making about 430. I'm on a hoosier slick. Will both the BMR and the Alston definately hold up to 5k+ clutch dumps????!!!

UMI also makes a trans mounted torque arm that will fit with duals, and will be coming out with a re-location brace for it soon.

I've had good results with the Random Tech TA. The 9-second Camaro that runs out of the School of Automotive Machinists in Texas uses a Rando Tech TA, so I figured it would be fine for my car-- and it has been.
