Default how much does torque arm really help?

alright, My car is a daily driver, but I can't get traction for ****. I get wheel hop, and my car just peels out all the time. Right now I am installing an even more powerful engine, so I would like to try to fix the rear susp. while the car is down. So far I've decided to order LCA's and relocation Brackets. I already have a new set of shocks. What I was wondering is if an aftermarket torque arm will really help or not in my situation. I rarely take my car to the track, I would just like to be able to hook up whenever the neighborhood ricers and mustangs wanna play. I almost slid into one the other day when I shifted into second.

Hello
A torque arm is a major factor in the suspension. What I would recommend is going with adjustable torque arm to allow you to set the pinion angle and depending on what arm you go with or even relocation cross member they allow you adjust your instant center. To help allow weight transfer faster. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and below is a link to show you what UMI Performance has to offer!
