Degreeing a Torque Arm

First of all, I hope I put this in the right spot since I don't see a chasis or suspension section. I just bought a BMR trak pak. I know it is adjustable and I was wondering what degree Some of you guys with adjustables running to get the best traction. I also got the subframs and the lca to go with the TA. Any info would be great.

Thanks GS355

I run mine at -4 deg. Anything less and i don't get much traction, and i get a very nasty vibration right before the tires hook up. This is with a moser 9" with LCA relocation brackets set up as far down as they can go.

-2 on the stock rear works well for me.

setting

I'm going to start off with -2 degree. Thats what they recommend starting with from BMR. I also have a Moser 9". Does it make that big Of a difference with the lca relocation brackets?

-2.5 over here and 1.48-1.50 off the footbrake so it's not hurting my 60 ft's.

I think -4 might blow u-joints?

One of my buddies runs greater than -4 and hasn't lost a u joint yet. Multiple drag passes and at least 2 years of MFBA Road Course events at Road America. It really isn't that steep.

I was told by one of my chassis peeps that -4 or more is on the edge and most folks might not want to do that...
