Default torque arm?

I found a guy is going to be producing torque rods locally to me and was curious to know how much of a difference it made in others rides. This 1 comes with a new transmission crossmember and locates the bar off the transmission, all the pieces look pretty strong
thanks

Torque arms can make a big difference a lot has to do with how much it is adjustable.

Who's is that? Noticed it was tunnel/cross brace mounted.
I just bought a BMR Trac bar and can't wait to get it on.

I saw this in another post and got the contact info from denali. Its actually the trans cross member that it is attached to and the forward mount in the pic is an entirely new bolt in cross member. I contacted him last week and he said he is working to get them done for late this week or the week after. Im getting one as soon as they are out of powder coat. The arm its self is 1.250 dia .095 wall moly tube. The guy builds 8.0 drag radial cars so Im thinking he knows what hes doing.

That's a nice setup, make sure that it has a few adjustment points in the front.

Just got the T/A on. Fabbed up the cross brace. set the pinion angle to -2. Man this thing feels like it just wants to pick up the front tires now. The way it transfers weight has changed dramatically!!
Will post up again after i get reloc. brackets and 3pt. sfc's for added bracing.
