YMMV.

They got worse with the spohn TA?

How hard was the install? How hard was setting pinion? Any other impressions other than 60' performance?

Thanks

It was very easy to install. The pinion angle is easy to set, but you need to get the car on a lift that raises it on the wheels (rather than a frame lift) to be able to set it.

There is a noticible amount of virbration/noise from the TA.

rskrause, what would you say to the hard core drag racers that are running 10's with their stock TA? do you think their time will be faster if they upgrade to a better arm?

edit: sorry to bring up such an old post, i didnt realize it was this old lol
