Addco Torque arm review (about a week on the car) So last Monday, I installed an ADDCO adjustable Torque arm, $330/shipped from Stranoparts.com on my Transam.
The install went so-so. Basically, it took longer than I thought, but I got through it.
I got the driver's side muffler moved yesterday so it wasn't rubbing against the torque arm. So I did a little bit of spirited driving with the new torque arm installed.
For testing purposes only. 
It's a completely different riding car.
The *** end kicks out if you want it to, and stays put if you don't want it to. :love: In addition, this thing helps alot on the launches too. I rolled on the throttle pretty aggressively from a stop the other day, and after three quick chirps, she just hooked, **** and get.
My car hasn't hooked like this since I had Nittos on the stock converter. Yes, it makes that much difference. :faint: Easily, the best "bang for the buck" mod i've done since the Yank.
If you can't tell by now, I love it.
My best 60' to date is mid 1.9's (I don't get to the track much). My SOTP meter tells me this single mod is worth at least a 10th avg (at least on my car, it is)

Good luck with the install. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. The job wasn't particularly difficult per se, but I hit a few snags that had to be worked through. Take it easy,
