I went with BMR sway bars and I think they work great, as for a torqe arm I'll be going with the Eldebrock torque arm. A friend of mine has one on his SS and he loves it, it's a non-adjustable arm and cost about $180 from Jeg's.

The non adjustable is just fine it will keep your pinion at the right angle and it's stiffer than stock and lighter. You only need the adjustable if you do alot of 1/4 mile runs at different tracks so you can set the pinion angle for the best bite for different temps and track surface, for the street and the once in a while 1/4 mile runs the non adjustable will work just fine.

Before u spend that dough, just a suggestion. Change the stock rubber TA bushing with a polyurethrane or a polygraphite. I did the first one and I'm much happier with traction. Oh by the way, I also did the same to my stock sway bar and both mod together kicked ***. All for a mere $64.
