Looking to replace my stock torque arm and I want to mount it off my transmission. I have American long tube headers with free flow cats . Is there a setup I can use?

 

Hey RT66

That setup will work with our stock length and our tunnel mount torque arms. Are you planning on drag racing? If so, tunnel mount will help your launch. Factory length is better for street/handling.

Our 2205 is for stock length applications.

Are you still running the factory G-force brace? If so, then part #2200 or #2201 will clear fine if you choose tunnel mount.

Give us a call to discuss and we can help you be sure before you order. Or if you have any tech questions...

Thanks Ramey for the reply. I'm looking for street/handling so do I still connect the stock length to the transmission?

 

Hey RT66

The 2205 is relocated off the transmission but is still factory length. The mount is moved to the opposite side using:

What transmission do you have?

 

I have the T-56

 

Then it would be 2205 and 2207.

On our site there is a dropdown box for the poly bushing but since you'd be purchasing a new torque arm, the bushing comes on it. i.e. no need to buy separately.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Can I use the 2206 instead?

 

Oh, certainly. 2206 is fine. Just non-adjustable for pinion angle. It still works well and adds a ton of rigidity to that system.

There are several options out there you can use. What we have to offer for factory length is our TA001 adjustable torque arm, and our torque arm relocation crossmember. Both of these items will provide the solution you're looking for without interfering with your American Racing headers at all.

Let me know if there's anything I can help you with.

Dont want to hi-jack but Im looking at doing the same thing but will be adding headers, Y-pipe, lca's and a tick. Would I need an adjustable to do this? Will be a 99% street car.

 

I always suggest the adjustable torque arm because our non adjustable torque arm is setup for -2 pinion with all factory everything. haha I would be paranoid I would buy this expensive arm and it doesn't work after I add a couple items later on down the road.

 

I understand that. Just weighing the options like RT66 and want to make sure I am doing it right the first time

 

Hey JWright. There are two adjustments on our torque arms but neither of them affect fitment so much as they affect tuning.

As mentioned above, with a non-adjustable like our 2206, you're limited to the factory pinion angle. If you lower the car you can be off a degree or two from stock. The adjusters allow you to return to stock angle or adjust for a bit more traction.

The second adjustment involves instant center adjustment on tunnel mounted torque arms where you can raise the actual torque arm to enhance forward traction.

Neither adjustment affects the installation of exhaust and other components but it's always good to check with us before purchase if you think your combo is going to have anything out of the ordinary.

Ramey,

I just saw a video about changing pinion angles on an adjustable arm. So that helps but what do you mean when you say "you can raise the actual torque arm to enhance forward traction".

If you look at picture 2 on the above page you can see the links between the two poly bushings have two holes. The bottom hole is "stock" and the upper hole, or longest setting on the link, enhances forward traction.

Since you're moving the nose of the torque arm up and down it changes the location but doesn't necessarily affect clearance of exhaust components.
