Is that a misprint? Were you trying to write SPOHN? If you meant the SPOHN torque arm then yes, i have one and it is awesome. I run on street radials at the track and have managed a 1.91 60ft time with it, before i couldn't even get below a 2.2

I'm going to go witht eh BMR trak pack arm. I want a shorter arm than what Spohn has to change the instant center of the rear suspension up and back a little more.

If you are looking for a short style arm and you drive on the street look at the global west torque arm. I will be installing one on my car this weekend and one more good point about Globalwest arm is that it's a bolt on unit.

The link for them is www.globalwest.net

Slush -

What did you set your pinion angle at? I have mine at 0 degrees, and my 60 foots got worse. I was wondering if going do -2 or so would be an improvement.
Did you get the arm and crossmenber with the ds loop? If so, do you have any problems with the loop hitting the arm at any time?

JERRYWHO,

Keep us updated on how your install goes, I'm also interested in this subject.

Also, I like the work of art that has been fitted to that manifold. did you do it yourself?
