Tq arm?

I want a shorter than stock TQ arm for better launches, I think these 2 are about the same length. Which moutning setup would you prefer? To the tunnel like the Jegster, or to a crossmember like the BMR Trak Pak? I would think the BMR's crossmember would get in the way when messing with the exhaust and driveshaft.
Does anyone know the exact length of each?
Also, the point at which the Jegster attaches to the tunnel has a sliding rod in it, that should also aid in weight transfer, correct?
I should add that if I got the Jegster, a friend of mine would modify it by welding in a piece to make it adjustable. So no matter what, I would be able to adjust the angle on both.
Any comments welcome.

Spohn, have you considered a shorter TQ arm with adjustability? If so, what are your thoughts on this?

Jegster



BMR Trak Pak TQ arm

I installed a Jegster torque arm in my car tonight. Kinda a pain in the *** but it should work good.

It rotaes 360' and slides in and out, so cornoring should not be effected, unlike the one in the picture in your post.

The cons are:

1> You have to remove your seats pull back your carpet to get
the bolts in
2> Good luck drilling the holes with your exhaust in the way
3> the instructions are useless, tho its pretty self explanatory
looking at it, I like illustration sometimes. And installing it on
the lift was prolly harder, because I had to load the
suspension with a engine hoist.

Just curious, why not support a board sponsor and buy a Spohn? I personally do not have one but have heard nothing but great things. Is it the cost between the units?

Cuz when I spent two weeks researching, I felt the Jegster torque arm gave the best traction gaining results, with minimal driveability loss.

Plus I wanted something that didn't interfear with the transmission mounting assembly..

Does spohn have strut tower braces yet? When he does, i'll take a peak at them. And if they're better than Edelbrock's, then I'll buy 'em from spohn.

I don't really care who supports this board. I can donate a server,
and even put it on my OC-3 backbone, and I wouldn't expect people to buy my stuff because of it.

Check out my list of mods on my website, I have Spohn's SFC's, LCA's, LCA brackets, panhard bar, and I just got his driveshaft safety loop. But I want a shorter TQ arm than Spohn offers, that's all.
