Default Torque Arm ?'s

this is for present and future-trying to plan ahead

im going to have QTP LT's cats and GMMG and was wondering what the STRONGEST adj. torque arm is that will fit that application? what is it that BMR limits theres to 11.00 due to the tailshaft housing mount-is this true/can it be corrected? this will be on an M6 and run to the SLP/Moser 12 bolt and be a daily driver

this torque arm needs to be streetable and strong as can be (above^) is about tranny mounted t/a

now i also plan in the future to be pushing 600fwhp/fwtq (STROKER) and am wondering if the tranny mounted would not last me with that setup. so if it wouldnt last would the BMR EXTREME DUTY torque arm be noticeably different on the street? will it even fit with the GMMG and LT's bcuz ive read there are some issues?

I'm happy with my Spohn torque arm with front and rear loops.

The 11.00 limit on the BMR tranny mount TA can be true to a point, but it is true that too much stress on the tranny tailshaft will possibly break it. Therefore relocating the TA mount to the frame is a good way to go. I dont like the BMR setup due to welding the cross brace. The Spohn version is bolt in and comes with either 1, 2 or no safety loops which I like. Either way, looks like it would be a good idea to not go with a stock mount TA.

Yes, tranny mounted is bad for high hp and high tq. You'll break the tranny tail.

I have Spohn stuff for sale. Email me or PM me.
