Default Random Tech Torque Arm
I have heard this is the best torque arm to use for TSP true duals, I was wondering how do they perform and what material are they made from? chrome moly or steel? are they as strong or stronger than BMR adjustable chrome moly torque arm?

I'd be interested in this also, I didn't realize there were any issues with any of the trans mounted TA's out there...I'm about to buy a BMR adjustable...

Funny you ask. I am also looking at this TA to give me more clearance with my TSP duals. Thunder Racing sells these. I wonder how much xtra clearance I will gain. My clearance issue is the proximity of the x pipe top to the duals.

so do you already have an aftermarket tranny mounted torq arm, and you're hoping this one will give you more clearance?

My car is lowered. I have the system tucked up real well. Good clearance under the car. The problem area is right above the x pipe on the drivers side.

they are both probably going to give you the same performance in the non-adj. forms but if you go adj. you can better tune your pinion angle for best results.Personal opinion I like the BMR torque arm better, looks like a stronger built piece, especially in chome moly!
