Have you checked directly with TSP? Or searched on it?

Thanks a lot Ryan, thats fits perfect, that's what I'll go with than, I hope it will fit that well on my car too. lol one more think, is there any reason not to get the adjustable one and save some cash with the regular non-adjustable ?

Glad to help

Our torque arm actually adds some addtional room over the stock arm to tuck the TSP system up tighter against the floor.

As for adjustable, since your vehicle is lowered I would highly recommend the adjustable version to get your pinion angle set back where it needs to be for the best traction. When you lower the vehicle it changes the driveline angle causing addtional traction loss. Also if you are looking to get the best possible traction and 60-foot from the vehicle the adjustable is the best way to go. If the car is more of a street car and you aren't worried about the pinion angle and want it more for a little extra bite then the non-adjustable would work just fine.

If I can help anymore please ask. Thanks
Ryan

Awesome posts UMI! I've been scouting around for a new TQ arm for mine. I've got the TSP duals and my stock TQ arm clears by about 1-1.5".

I'll probably give you guys a shout pretty soon about it. My car is lowerd about 1" in the rear now, going deeper sooner. I'd like to cut better than a 1.95 60' next time I go!

Yup, that's what I want: best possible traction and 60-foot times.
Adjustable it is !!!

You guys should also note that those pics show the clearance with the suspension UNLOADED. It should be drastically better than the pics with the tires on the ground.

looking at the pics I noticed the tq arm is connected to the trans. I could'nt see where the tq arm is mount at from the trans end. so I'm assuming it's still connected to trans. would TSP's td still fit with UMI trans mount w/ d/s safety loop?

Doesn't really matter, nobody reads them anyway.

Maby the exhaust sticky for true duals? Might also want to stick it beside the QTP header/TSP true dual writeup by DirtyJohn too.
