I am running 12.6s in my cam and bolt ons setup with a 2.0 60ft. I might not be the best driver out there but keep in mind I am dynoing 380rwhp and added 373s to the equation. You could be beating my times with 40 less horsepower if not more. This is causing a lot of driving abuse to the car.
Awesome times
. Not a hater, but you must understand that your are driving your car beyond its expected potentials and this is what could happen.
Please give us your 60 ft times and 1/8 time.
Good luck

headers
lid
cutout
the rest is weight reduction and lots driving
ford 9 inch
3 1/2 inch hipo driveshaft
stage 4 clutch
McCloed adjustable master
solid LCA's
boxed subframe connectors
6500- dump clutch
no lift shift
that was when i had 3.70's and the ls1 intake
60 foot- 1.74
1/8th mile 7.94
what ppl don't understand about these cars is they make enough power to run 12.4 STOCK. you just need to get all that power to the ground (which i still haven't done yet.... feels ALOT better with 4.30's in it)

Let me set a few records straight. First, we don't accept private messages so there is no reason to ever check them. We just don't have the resources to monitor all of the web forums that we sponsor. Please, if you have a problem, send us an email or give us a call before you start a "Bash BMR" thread. I am sorry we did not respond sooner, we have been through 2 hurricanes in the last 2 weeks and are having problems just staying open.
Secondly, we do have a replacement policy. We will replace any product that fails within the the first year of service providing the customer has a receipt. Without a receipt, their is no way of telling how old a product is or what it has been through. People have a habit of setting the pinion angles wrong or adjusting the adjuster out too far which is typically what causes a failure. The torque arm pictured is over 2 years old. The rear bracket and torque arm design has evolved through the years as the cars have become quicker. While the Trak Pak pictured has run into the 9's before and the newer version has actually seen a 9.30 pass, we typically recommend these times for our Xtreme torque arm which is much stronger.
The Xtreme torque arm just set a record in Innovative Turbos' 3rd generation F-Body this past weekend. He ran a 7.98@180mph on our "off-the-shelf" torque arm with BFG Drag Radials!

It is dissapointing to see posts where a product has failed . . . although in responce, I have a ton of BMR products on my SS for years without incident.
Will something fail? I sure hope not, but anyway failures do occur, and more often when you mod your car. I certainly do not see this as a manufacturing issue . . .
To get a 12.6 out of a stock motor you have to be beating the living **** out of the car and its parts . . .

maybe thats why i sent it 2 weeks ago with no return....
i called and asked what i could do, hoping to get even the slighest cut on price but for what i would have paid to get a new bar, Forced Performance gave me a Spohn torque arm that mounts in the same spot but looks ALOT stronger for the same.
just bugged me to get something i thought was "beefed up" and have it fail on me

think about this.... do you go to the track to push the gas pedal all the way down or to run the car lightly? NO, you go to push it.... stretch its legs out
i had one person predict i'd go a 13.0 and another predict i'd go 12.7

excessive over extension of the adjuster perhaps creating a weird bind. maybe the cross bar was welded to far forward on the SFC's causing a need to have the adjuster all the way out(?)
i've been driving on the street (daily driven) for just under 2 years now ~15,000miles with BMR tubular k-member and lower tubular a-arms and have hit many a pot holes at all different rates of speed/angles and this thing has taken a beating and is still going strong!
looks to me like that thing broke because of install error and or bad suspension geometry
and Chapman, i cant even believe you are trying to get a refund on a product that you bought used from a private 3rd party, thats pathetic.

Yes sir! I agree. I have been trying to make that same decision, and Spohn it is.

wasn't trying for a refund, was more trying to give the "look out" as i bought a Spohn one anyway
3rd party or not, it was still purchased from BMR from the getgo.

I kind of stand behind BMR on this one, i wouldnt expect them to warranty a 2 year old part, that was bought used. I have a BMR Trak PAck sitting on my floor im looking at right now i havent put in yet, i think im going to make sure i keep my reciept, lol.

I am very surprized that a low 12 second car pulling 1.7 60ft's broke that thing.I was running 12.2 cutting 1.62 60ft.'s with the stock torque rail ,stock shocks ,springs ,struts,and stock clutch and never broke a thing.Then I did H&C and did a BMR panhard,LCA and TA.I have the TA that mounts to the tranny.I know this isn't what I should be running but I got all the BMR stuff for 200 bucks brand new,some kid got it all for x-mas and never put it on the car then sold the car.I cut 1.56 60ft.'s with a lesser TA.I'm gonna upgrade to a yank solid convesionframe mount to take some stress off my tranny.Maybe your pion angle was too agressive.Not sure how that sucker could have broke.Good luck with your TA problems
