broke my stock torque arm

So my car is a twin turbo 89 iroc bone stock L98 longblock at 6 pounds of boost. I actualy split the poly mount that the end of the torque arm slips into including the medal case it sits in. Now my car may be making 450rwtq at best. The funny thing is I did this on the street with tiny little pizza cutter tires on my 16x8 rim no drag radials or anything. So I need a new torque arm well maybe the jegster adjustable or the spohn cross member mount if it will fit with my homemade 3" y-pipe would be close? So much for 10 second cars running stock TA atleast in my case? The BMR will kill my ground clearence so no go. The car has a T56 with the stock TA with a polly mount. Will this actualy improve my traction or are these just glorified mounts? I do like the idea of getting all that stress of the tranny, that is a stupid design you could possibly shere those bolts clean of the tranny housing.

If you broke the mount off the tranny your best bet would be to go for spohn's setup which mounts the TA to the cross member.

Go with the Spohn. Just plan to redo you exhaust maybe, mine got a little tricky. No ground issues though, great part!!!
