Re: Torque Arm Talk Biggest bang for the buck is the stock torque arm until you start running in the low 11 second range. Mine worked just fine, as well as a ton of others on this site, until I started running in the 11.0 range and bent it.
The LG one works good for me though.

Re: Torque Arm Talk In the name of science <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I'm going to try the el cheapo Edelbrock piece ($169 shipped), I only run 12.50s but have continuing traction and wheel hop problems even with ET Streets, plus my stock one appears to have a bend in it. If it sucks I'll put it on Ebay and probably make a profit <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> . It looks like a pretty good piece though.

Re: Torque Arm Talk Understand the bending thing but I was under the impression of the aftermarket torque arms helping with traction? Could someone weigh in on the traction aspect. Thanks.

Re: Torque Arm Talk If you want traction, invest in tires first. A torque arm isn't going to make a crappy set of tires grip any better. Fix the tire limitation, and if you are still not hooking up, work on the suspension.
I know guys that have run 10s with a completely stock suspension, including LCAs, torque arm, and shocks. Tires are the key, suspension will help those tires even more.
