Other than that, I have a CAI, GMMG catback, 2800 stall. I managed a 13.59 ET. Would it make that much of a difference right now?
Sounds like you have other issues with your suspension IMO, I cut 1.8x 60's with a stock stall + 3.73 (built motor, but still). I am not suspension expert though so...

I agree with the guy below me though, you at least need better gears.

In short, do not buy a tq arm yet lol.

I bought a new 3.73 Motive on Saturday... I am looking to get it installed this week. Think it will help much?

I have an adjustable BMR unit. For a lowered car it also helps correct the pinion angle. It also definitely helps with braking also if anyone is interested (say for autocross for example).
