I am pretty sure the Edelbrock is set to factory pinion angle... meaning it will not change the pinion angle of the car.

Any reason you are choosing Edelbrock over UMI? Just curious.. I will be glad to help!

Price is understandable... we all have to watch our pennies.

This item kind of goes back to the old saying "you get what you pay for". Edelbrock makes great products... however there F-Body torque arm is merely a factory replacement only and under hard load we have seen many of them break. If you do a search you will see what I mean. Now if you just looking for a stock replacement it would be just fine. But if you plan on any racing I suggest giving us a shot.

Pinion angle can cause vibrations if set to severely... however our torque arm is set in a good location that will not cause this.

If you would be interested in our product shoot me a PM and I will be glad to help
