Default Torque Arm...help

Hello,
I am looking for a good torque arm (new or used if someone what to sell theirs). I am on a strict budget. What do you recommend.

Thanks,

FYI - I don't believe the LG is adjustable either, though I think he makes them with
-1.5 degrees built in or something like that.

My elelbrock was a easy install and no more noise than the stock one or vibration and it did help with traction. I did see in one of my car mag. that elelbrock has a torque arm thats adjustable for the f-body now.
