Yes it will help pre load your rear for the launch. Helps stop wheel hop. Can set pinion angle. Here is a little advice if you even think you might start making bigger power in time get a torque arm that DOES NOT mount to the transmission. Take a look at www.spohn.net he make a real nice unit..

Hey TFT while your on the sight check out the Lower control arms (adjustable) and the Lower control arm lowering brackets. And when you are rich and famous the pan hard bar (adjustable) They would be a good addition in the future if you are going to do any drag racing. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Do you have real tires yet? The stock torque arm is good enough until you get into the lower 11's. After the tires, Shocks will have the next greatest improvement, then I'd go with some LCA's.

Cool!! i already have LCA's and an adjustable panhard rod, sub-fames, lowering springs and relocate brackets. Just thought the torque arm was not an issue, i know that's all i have left. Plus i have the sways bars too. I have ET streets and going to get nitto drags for daily driving. Thx for the info guys!!

What about Jeg's Torque Arm? Does it fit well and does it handle the power?

I don't know anyone using the jegs arm and it is n't adjustable! Remember you get what you pay for. BMR makes a real nice product and so does Random Tech. I have heard of some people having problems with the Sponh arm bending!! Talk to Prostock John he knows more about it.
