I decided to pass and wait on Founders. They've definitely done right by me in the past, so I feel the least I could do is be patient and wait it out. Looks like a nice piece, and a nice price!

Either way, Made in the USA parts are the way to go.

FWIW tunnel mounts will hit the tires hard, great for lower HP cars.

Main body of the torque arm is welded and we are now moving on to welding the axle brackets. The completed torque arms should be going to powder coat no later than Monday. We are hoping to get them up on the website this weekend for Pre-Sales with a price of only $223.82 in adjustable form only.

MADE IN THE USA!

Founders Performance On Car Adjustable Transmission Mounted Torque Arm

1982-2002 Camaro or Firebird Adjustable Torque Arm

Transfer more or your power to the wheels by with this Founders Peformance adjustable torque arm. This unique designed aftermarket torque arm replaces the flimsy stamped stock torque arm adding strength, rigidity and eliminating flex. This super strong tubular torque arm is a direct bolt on replacement using existing mounting holes and requires no drilling or welding. Founders torque arm is designed to eliminate wheel hop under hard acceleration and reduce your 60-foot times. All necessary parts are supplied with this tubular set-up including a low deflection Energy Suspension front bushing which replaces the stock rubber bushing and bolts in with the existing clamshell. The rear torque arm mount is constructed entirely of high strength grade 50 steel (not the more common 1008, 1010, or grade 30) CNC laser cut and is fully pulsed spray welded with extra material around the mounting holes compared to any other torque arm on the market. This set-up features on-car adjustability for easy pinion angle adjustments using forged 4340 Heat treated adjuster and high strength alloy steel solid rod ends. This makes this the strongest adjustable torque arm on the market at the most affordable price! Designed to fit GM 10-Bolt rear-ends, Moser and Strange 12-Bolts as well as most 9" housings.

Build Features:

Constructed Of 1.250" x 0.120" DOM Seamless Steel Tubing
Pulsed Spray Welded Tube Adaptors With Rosette Welds For Extra Strength And Durability
Forged 4340 Chrome-Moly On-Car Adjuster And Heat Treated For Superior Strength Strength
CNC Laser Cut Mounting Plates With Properly Sized Mounting Holes (not sloppy holes like other torque arms) For The Best Accuracy and Fit
Rear Mounting Plates Made From Grade 50 High Strength Steel Designed To Fit Stock, 12- Bolt, and 9" Rear-End Housings.
Rear Mounts feature Solid Alloy Steel ¾" Rod Ends
Front Mount Has A Double Tube Design For Extra Strength Up At The Transmission
Solid Front Mount Going Through The Transmission (not a single weak) For Solid Strength
Added Material Compared To Other Torque Arms On The Axle Mount For Added Strength Around The Bolt Area
Center Support For The Torque Arm Captures The Weld Bungs For Added Bung Strength.
Durable Powder Coat

Torque Arm Benefits:

Designed to eliminate/reduce wheel hop and solves traction problems
Stiffer arm reduces front end nose dive during braking
Solid construction prevents breakage and reduces down time
Allows for pinon angle adjustments on the car
Polyurethane bushing eliminates deflection
Bolt-on design requires no welding or drilling!

Now that this one is done we are moving on to the short tunnel mount and then we will move on to working on the relocation kits.
