Torque Arm help needed.
Never denied the nose was different. In fact I agreed with you that they are different (maybe that's what threw you off).
Everyone has their own marketing, I think a picture is often worth a thousand words. And if there was a rash of TA failures @ the nose, you'd have a point. But that's not where TA's break, they fail at the rear.
I'm not being pushy on this because frankly despite the hype they are all much more alike than different (and that includes other beyone just the three I posted pics of). In fact the only one that's tangibly different is the Edelbrock because it uses the same flimsy steel in the rear--which *is* where TA's tend to fail.
No verbal fencing here, just telling it as I see it.

The external threads on a BMR adjuster are rolled....like a grade 8 bolt. This costs a little more, but it is important to add strength to our product without adding weight.
When I say that the BMR products are "track-tested", I mean it. We have made many design improvemnts over the years based on what we have learned at the track. Our competitors don't test their product with the big horsepower cars, so their learning curve is much longer.
I have to say that finally I'm impressed that Allan made a post that instead of attacking others, pointed out a positive he feels about his parts. Bravo.
I can't think of an instance where an adjuster has failed (from anyone). None the less, once you get away from the pure white background in other pictures it can be seen the UMI adjuster is not square cut and has a fillet as well:

Just to make sure we have all of our options out there, here is a picture of our torque arm. It mounts to a weld-in crossmember that welds to the subframe connectors. This crossmember also has a drive shaft loop. This product is more for strip use, since it does not use any poly bushings and will have some vibrations when used on the street. If you're interested, please give me a call. Our number is 225-673-3533. We're open from 8am-6-pm Mon-Fri.

Just to let you guys know... I just swapped my tunnel mounted arm for a tranny mounted arm... and it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice not hearing EVERYTHING now!!!!! I should have never put that thing on there!
If you do any form of racing, it's my opinion that you need to get an after market torque arm. Reason why is that the torque arm is mounted to the tailshaft of the transmission. If you put any kind of power to the ground and get the car to hook, you run the chance of breaking the tailshaft of your tranny.
Now, the specific type of racing and how much of it you do will dictate what type of torque arm you need. If you wanna call me, I can go over your options with you. My number is 225-673-3533.
