Torque Arm
Torque Arm Which should I buy? I got Pacesetter long tubes with a Custom built True duals X-pipe. I want one that will bolt on to a stock 10 bolt and uses the trans mount location on the side of it just like the stock one. Which one will hold? I don't want a TQ arm that is going to give me problems like breaking and all that other stuff you guys go thru. Thanks.
Please reply need the info on the torque arm. Thanks.

If you're gonna spend the $$ on a new torque arm then I would definitely go with a version that does NOT attach to the tranny tailshaft. This will save you from having to buy a second T/A later.
Once you start to make some healthy HP the tailshaft mount design put's undo stress on the tailshaft housing - and it WILL break - especially prone when on dyno.
You can either go with the Spohn which uses a slightly different front mounting configuration than stock, but uses a crossmember that bolts in place of your existing tunnel brace to get the mount point off your tranny - or you can go with a style that utilizes same sliding style of front mount as stock but has a seperate crossmember as well - such as the one from UMI or BMR...
Personally I went with the Spohn unit that also incorporates front & rear DS loops - I would have had no problem going with the other design but of course, they didn't come out till right after I bought the Spohn.

Do not get the Edelbrock one, I broke 3 of them before getting the BMR. They took care of me on the broken ones, but it sucked having to change them over and over again.
