Default Global West Torque Arm

I tried a search, but did not get the answers I was looking for. Does it work well? What are the advantages/disadvantages? Thanks.

The Global West company sells two different torque arms. A normal one that bolts to the tranny as the stock one does and one called the Trac-Link. I have this one on my TA. It bolts to the chassis itself, right under the passenger's seat on the driver's side. Benefits are: No more brake dive with this unit. Pinion angle on it can be adjusted. Should be good on cars running any speeds at the track. The only disadvantage is that it is heavy, but it is so that not matter how fast you are it will be reliable.

Thanks. I was debating saving for a Trac-Link, but it is $$$ and may not clear my duals.
