Mine worked good at the track also, just was terrible everywhere else. My new TA set up actually pulled a better 60ft when the car was still basically stock. So Im happy.

fwiw I am normally picky when it comes to vibrations and noises. Amazingly the jegs tunnel mt. ta is pretty smooth. At certain loads you can feel it lock in, but nothing like ac has described about the umi tunnel mt. ta. Cause if it was, I would of ripped it off and went back to a stock type ta too!

Basically from what I'm gathering...it would not be a bad idea to give the jegs tq arm a shot and if I don't like it sell it for something else. My only other actual worry is the pinion angle. What does it even need to be? If I install the jegs one and the angle isn't right I'll probably ditch it.

I do believe jegs makes an adjustable and non-adjustable. I went with the non adjustable for the simple fact that it bolts in and your done. If it was a track car the fully adjustable unit would be more benificial.

agreed -2 is standard pinion angle setting, but it can vary a little from car to car. Basically its a good starting point.

Which Trans crossmember are you referring to? The only ones I see on their site are for TH350s and TH400s.
