Looking for a new TQ arm and wondered who's is the best for street racing. I read a post a few weeks ago on this subject and it was said that the shorter the TQ arm, the better the launch. Don't know if this is true, could someone shed some light on the subject for me? My biggest question is this: Would a TQ arm that is great for drag racing really be that bad on a street car? And if not, who makes the best launching TQ arm?
I also read a post a few weeks ago about Spohn's TQ being a good all-around TQ arm, but having problems breaking. Anyone else have problems w/ Spohn's TQ arm?

You'll have to decide whats best for your individual needs. One differance is bushings. Some come with polyurathane or polygraphite bushings and some with sperical rod ends. As far as bar length the longer the bar the softer the launch or the greater length of time torque will be applied. The shorter the bar the harder it will launch over a shorter period of time. You need to find out what others have and how it works with thier combination. A small block with an auto trans leaving at a low RPM would probably hook better with a short arm. A big block leaving at a high RPM would work better with the long arm.

 

Thanks for the info. I have a small block leaving at about 2200 rpm w/ a 700R4 and Vigilante TC, may get a higher stall later if necessary. Anyone know who makes a short TA? Adjustable would be good.
