Default Non-Adjustable Torque-Arm??????

There is a shop in Austin that has a non adjustable, after market torque-arm. They say it is stronger than a stock torque-arm, but what i want to know is....will it give me a better 60ft time? Also, how strong will it actually be in comparison to a stock torque-arm or an adjustable torque-arm?

Thanks in advance

it will be alot stronger. the stocker is a peice of stamped steel, the aftermarket ones are tubular. you dont need an adj TA, its just better if you know how to tune it correctly.

the non adjustables are good for mild setups. they are pre set to a -2 pinion angle. anything is better than the stock one.

Yes it should. But then again cheese did do that 7.0 in the 1/8th on a stocker. Its up to you. You will see a gain, but im the type of person that if I do it, im gona do it once and for all and get the adjustable one the first time.

I hear that Donanay. I have already broke one on the 12 bolt. And the one I have now, I know it is bent.
