I need some input. I have enough money for either a DS or a TQ Arm, but not both at this time. There are 2 GPs going on right now, 'can't decide which one to go with. (Or do I wait for either to break?)

I just put the sticky MT DR's on the rear, so I know something will likely give. With an M6, 12 Bolt, Spec 3 and 413/383 to the rears, anyone want to guess which part I will need first?

I also run a Two Step, which means I will likely not have to clutch dump at 6k, more like 3500 to 4500 rpms.

Comments appreciated

get a torque arm with drive shaft safety loop, dont want that driveshaft commin up to give you an enema =X

I'd go with a new torque arm... but I would put a new driveshaft in as the next thing on the list. And as was suggested above, make sure you have a good driveshaft loop just in case the stocker snaps on you.

Thanks, decision made.

I do have a DS loop now, it's a piece of **** Lakewood that had to be modified to hell because it didn't fit with my MAC offroad pipe.

But the TQ arm it is. Will this help me with my 60' time too?

I'd go DS & loop.

my ds let go before my t/a did

1ScrudeDude

Hmmmm. Looks like I SHOULD get both.

(Leaves to go check credit card balance...)

If you can do both, definitely do both... I've got one of the cheaper torque arms out there (Edelbrock) which only cost me $180 shipped from Summit Racing. It's held up great through one full drag season, and it still looks pretty much brand new (just a little dusty)...

Great help, thanks guys.

I've seen stock tourque arms go deep into the 9's I wouldn't worry about the ta.

Yeah, I'm leaning in the DS direction now, I just talked to Tom at Speed Inc. where I buy a lot of parts.

He said "we go through a lot of those" when I mentioned stock driveshafts. I will get both, but the DS will be first purchase now.

And at our local track, I see more of my buddys twisting their poles as compared to TA's.

check out a denny's nitrous ready I bought one and what qualty it is!

Agreed, you will not likely break a stock T/A; however, at the level you are at, you will benefit from being able to adjust your suspension and improve on your 60 ft times with an adjustable T/A.

Awesome guys. There's a GP for shafts going on now, $330 for chrome moly 3"...

i would go with the driveshaft myself, the stocker clears really well and seems to be strong enough. i plan on maby re-enforcing mine with some plate and adding a driveshaft loop to it, mostly because it would be freeeee! and also because theres not much other stuff that will clear the TSP true duals
