UMI Performance New Product- Weld In Tunnel Mounted Torque Arm for 82-02 GM F-Body
 
UMI Performance, Inc.
Weld-In Tunnel Mounted Torque Arm for the 1982-2002 Camaro/Firebird

P/N 2235 & 2236 priced at $429.99

UMI Performance, Inc. is pleased to announce the availability of our new weld-in torque arms for 3rd and 4th Generation GM F-body cars. UMI’s traditional bolt-in tunnel mounted torque arm is already an industry leader with regards to reliability, fitment and performance. This weld-in solution brings UMI’s quality and performance to your 3rd Gen application in addition to offering another mounting variation for 4th Gen cars. The universal fit mount is manufactured with extra width to allow custom installation with both UMI and other brands of 2-point subframe connectors. Two models are available and both have pinion angle adjustability – P/N 2236 is for stock and “tucked” exhaust while P/N 2235 is for long tubes, off-road Y-pipes and other larger exhaust systems. The strong 1-1/2” DOM tube construction and Made In USA craftsmanship combined with tough red or black powder coat will ensure many years of trouble free service and hard launches. Please note welding of the brace to 2-point subframe connectors is required for installation. UMI proudly designs and manufactures all of our products in Philipsburg, PA – USA.

How about a mount that welds on to the trans x-member instead? Less clutter.

How well will this work for an LS1/t56 swap with mid length headers, Ypipe, and 3" exhaust?

or with Long tubes?

I use to have the BMR one on my old Camaro. I love this design. Makes it alot simpler when pulling a trans etc.

How long is the tq arm itself so I can get an idea of mounting point?

My current car and fathers 84Z28 is all UMI now. Actually just got him the trans mount version 2 months ago. I wish this was offered then! He was dead set o all matching UMI.

Thanks.

Jay

There's a lot of info out there about the effects that the shorter torque arm has on straight line acceleration, but what about handling? I can't seem to find much info on what impacts the shorter arm will have for ride quality nor for autocross/roadcourse type handling.

Do you mean one that has a mount on the transmission cross member instead of the transmission tail shaft? If so it already exists.
