jegster torque arm?

Iam about install a th-400 in my car. I need a torque arm. My cars runs 11.7. Anyone else running similar times with jegster? I researched the other companies. I just havent heard anything about this one. The poor old 700r4 just cant take it anymore.

I've been looking at the Jegs TQ arm myself. The reason I kinda like it is due to the fact it attaches to the trans tunnel up front instead of the trans tail shaft, which no doubt gets stressed during hard launches...

Couldn't tell you whether they work well or not though.

a bunch of people i know run them and love them. i'm putting one in this winter, now that they have an adjustable one for our cars. also i'm going to tie the mounting point for this to my cage as the last two points from 6 to 8. this will no doubt not allow any flex that "might" be caused by the floorboard mounting point.

I run the adjustible unit, works for me. Mainly installed it since I could'nt justify the price of the Spohn after seeing one in a freinds car, plus I wanted to clear up more space in the tunnel for exhaust, but da....still is'nt enough room under these things to tuck dual 3" pipes

Not only that if/when I remove the tranny for a freshen up I dont have to monkey around with the tranny crossmember and associated BS of the Spohn to drop it.
