I have an 01 camaro putting down 700rwhp. What is the limit of the stock torque arm? I have heard of people snapping them?

If you are truly 700RWHP then the answer here should be very obvious. A stock arm is not going to get that power to the ground effectively to be worthy of that kind of power regardless if it breaks or not..
