WooHoo new best!

Well I dumped about 25# off of my Spohn Torque arm, Made a 3" into 4" Y pipe, and fabbed a 4" cold air pipe. This in good air gained me a tenth over best run last year. Now at 11.57. Need more weight reduction! Back seats and front sway bar should be good for another 1/2 of a tenth.

Nice times. How did you dump 25#s off of your Spohn arm, do you have the one with the DS safety loop and decided to take the loop off?

Re: WooHoo new best!

I made a new TA tht is a direct mount to my ford 9" rear, which eliminates the Moser adaptor casting, and the Spohn fabricated Torque arm box. I also went to a BMR style Poly bushing up front and eliminated the link system. It's still a cross member mount and still has a DS loop. I have some pics if your interested. So far it works great. It also eliminates all of the bolted and adjustable joints so no more clunking. I was afraid that I wen't too far on weight reduction and I'd turn it into a pretzel but looks like it survived 5500 M6 launches on slicks
