I agree. The panhard relocation bracket should be sold as a kit - a bracket for the passenger's side and a bracket for the driver's side to completely level out the panhard bar.

I am pretty sure you are talking about the torque arm relocation bracket. With the torque arm relocation bracket the higher you mount the torque arm the harder it will hit the tire but it won't carry the power out as far. The lower you mount the torque arm the softer it will hit the tires but it will carry the power out further.

Each car is a little different so play around with the settings and see what your car really likes.

How much power does the car make? What tire are you going to be running? What kind of transmission? If it is an auto what size stall? Give me some details on the car and I can definitely help you out better.

It sounds like the car is hooking pretty well on the previous setup so I would try it up a little higher to see if you can drop that 60ft time a little. I would run the bottom bolts in the 5th hole up from the bottom. Setting it up this way will hit the tire harder then you were before so it may be too much and you may have to back it down a little but I think that will be a good starting point.

Not a problem. Once you get everything set up and make it to the track let us know how the car does.

Am I going crazy? I thought when I replied to this thread, you were initially talking about the panhard bar?

Yeah this is normal. The torque arm should sit right next to the transmission and as long as it isn't making contact with the transmission it is fine.

When you have everything mounted up it gets real tight in that area so as long as the line are not touching you won't have any issue. If you want post up a picture of what you are working with it may help me to help you out.
