Post S&W torque arm?

My Spohn broke again today and this time there is no fixing it. The tubing split wide open just in front of the slip tube on my 4th time trial today. It is time to step up to somthing more reliable.

S&W now makes a torque arm with a weld in X-member for F-bodies. I know that they are a very repitable chassis company and make quality stuff. But, I am wondering if anyone has used this TQ arm and if you have any complaints?

came up with..

Matt

Talking

Yeah I was over on LS1.com one day last week and he posted a link to an auto dealership site that had a link to some pics of the new torque arm. But I was at work and couldn't book mark the site. I haven't been able to find it since.
I really liked the different way that it mounted up front on the replacement tranny crossmember.
I'll drop him an e-mail and get the link.
thanks,

I'd like to see some pics of the Billingsley Racing torque arm also.Do you know how much $$$ it's going for?

I'd like to get the torque arm off the tranny also.

Thanks
John
