If you do a search you may find a little more info on them, but not a lot since that torque arm is not a very popular choice around here (since it attaches to the trans tunnel, it tends to be very noisy from what I have read). But there are a few people here running them with good results. I know PSJ has (or at least had) one and liked it a lot.

I'm curious about this TA also. I can't seem to find anyone who sells it on the web. This would give me much needed clearance for my exhaust. I'm not too certain a long TA with a relocation would be my best bet at my power level.

Just happened to see this thread. I ran one, BradWS6 ran one, and Magnus ran one. I think we all were in the 1.3's.

Alston Racing was in Antioch Illinois.

They say there torque arm bolts in. Where does it connect on the chassis side? Does it connect to the Tranny or the uni-body?

Body..... some people have had good luck with it but I don't care much for the design.
