Default Good torque arm upgrade?

What's a good torque arm that is fairly light, strong enough for a low 11sec cam-only car?

adjustable or non adjustable? Have stock suspension now. Will the non-adj. UMI do? Opinions on this or other possibly good torque arms?

Hello,

Alot depends on how you wish to drive the vehicle, I assume this is a street car that seems some track time (drag)? Let me know and I will be glad to help you out. Some versions will work better for certain types of driving then others will.

Thank you!

Yes, this is a cam only daily driver that sees the track from time to time. I launch on street tires and am trying not to brake by 10bolt. I don't want to launch harder than a 1.8x 60' on this rear. In the future I will upgrade rear and launch 1.6s, but this is about it. Just don't know if an adj. torque arm is for my application.

Either the adjustable or non-adjustable would work just fine then. If you have plans to upgrade the rear end the adjustable would be more suited for that to make sure the driveline angle is correct, otherwise the non-adjustable would be fine.

If I can help anymore please ask and I am glad too. Thanks!
