so i purchased a umi tunel mounted torque arm during the GP Last Month, i wish i would have wated for the 20%/ free shipping there duing now, but still was a good deal. a couple of modifications were neceassry, grinding of the corner of the rear mount/on the pumpkin area due to the fact that it was digging into the side of the tunnel. and it was catching on the brackets that hold the fuel lines inside of the tunnel so i ground the bracket down some, plus the instant center adjustment bolt was catching betwwen the original bolt mounting points on the tailshaft, so more grinding was necesary, but now it seams good, i also did a little modification to the front mounting point bushing area to allow for a better bind free performance.
So now i'm playing with the instant center adjuster by the tail shaft.
right now i'm on the higher of the 2 settings, but i'm not sure if i should go lower or not, like i said in the title the car is setup for handling not drag.
then there the other adjustment is based on the length of the torque arm.
the angle of the instant center bracket, pointing up towards the front of the car, or pointing up to the rear of the car.
pointing forward seams like that under toque would want to pivot up thus
pushing the torque arm back, and do to the angle of the LCARB, there on the top setting, would cause anti squat.
pointing up and angled towards the rear would seam like it would want lift the rear under torque and cause squat,
what do i want for best handling i know there are a few otheres around here with the tunnel mount torque arm
i couldn't find to much info about theese othere than people saying that they liked them after they got them dialed in to there cars.
so any helpful advice would be nice
