the theory of a floating torque arm isn't really in alot of literature.

I've only seen it really mentioned in one book:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ima...283155&s=books

all that book does is describe the instant center position. Other books really describe how IC works in a drag race application

I'm curious about all this as well. It would be great to have something that tells you if your car does this you should adjust this and so on.

Door slammer chassis guide by David Morgan. The torque arm set up is very simlar to a ladder bar setup.
