This is one of those instances where you get what you pay for..... that Jeg's torque arm is $304 + shipping.

Spend a little extra and get a good brand.

ls1speed.com has UMI tunnel mounted arms for $368 shipped. Transmission mounted ones for $274 shipped.

Also, they would be easier to install than ripping out your interior and drilling a billion little holes to bolt up that Jeg's arm.

he didn't ask for a plug for a sponsor, he asked for advice on a product

the shorter tq arm design is more oriented for drag racing, and shocks the tires more when launching IIRC, that is the verdict with the drag guys i know

I've used it on my old '95z28 (383cu.in/6spd) years ago. It serves it's purpose very well, but for a street daily driven car... it's noisy and you'd feel every freaking bumps and vibration from the road since it is directly attached in the transmission tunnel. I was running 315/35/17's BFgoodridge drag radials and was consistently in the 1.7's 60ft. I'm sure it would have gone in the 1.60's if I had more suspension mods along with some drag lite wheels all around and ofcourse, a taller profile tires.

Well I just figured that I would throw this out there for you that we have a few to choose from weather a stock length adjustable or a tunnel mounted adjustable. Below is a link to show you what we have to offer. And if you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be glad to help!
