Default Edelbrock Torque Arm

Does anyone have the non adjustable torque arm made by edelbrock? Is it worth the money or should I rather go with an adjustable one? Any info on this is appreciated. thx

If you're lowered or ever plan on being lowered, you'll need an adjustable one. If you're basically at stock ride height, it's a good piece. It helped with wheel hop issues I had a while back... get no wheel hop at the track now.

I have it on mine. Its an improvement over stock for sure, and half the price of the adjustable ones. Easy install, and I don't have to worry about setting the pinion angle wrong and chewing up my u-joints. Down the road as I add more power I may step up to an adjustable tunnel-mounted unit to help my launching. But for now this one was sufficient.

I am skeptical of how much benefit the expensive adjustable ones are...I wa runing stock Torque arm with radials and could cut 1.68 short times on an unprepped track, ran 11.6-11.7 all day long launching straight and easy with 4000lb race weight. I have done more stuff now and should be low 11's on motor and hopefully low 10 mid 10's on spray. I will post how the torques arm holds up.

I've had great luck on my Edelbrock TA. Have BMR 1" springs and no problems. Cant beat the price.

I love mine. Like what was already said, it is very strong at a kickass price.
