Its not a bad item but is not designed to take a beaten, its pretty much more of a stock replacement item and can not handle high torque loads. If you do a search there have been many of them fail, not do to poor quality but just not designed to take the abuse.

If you need help with a torque arm set-up I will be glad to help out.

yeah I think it was madman who posted up a pic of the edelbrock bent nearly in half. The flex issue can be addressed by adding gussets or triangulating the space between the two main tubes.

I have a non-adjustable Edlebrock torque arm on my 421 rwhp street Firehawk.

Much better than stock and I've had no issues with it. Well worth the $170 I've spent. ~Joshua

I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
