Is anyone using the Edelbrock torque arm?
#2
I got mine last year. Overall I'm very happy with it. Good constrcution/durablility and clean looks. I never had a problem with wheelhop so I can't say it helped it but driving around town I do notice the rear end feels a little more "planted". It comes with a polyurathane mount which is nice. I would recommend this piece unless you decide to go big and need to adjust the pinion angle. The Edlebrock Arm will not allow that....

I would say if your gonna keep your car more street than strip this arm will do just fine. If you wanna cut 1.5 60ft times and are gonna go big on other traction mods spend the extra $300 on an adjustable...... (BMR)
my $.02
overall for me it was a nice addition (I got mine for $138.00 shipped)

Yes got one on my 01 ss an just bent it tonight at strip.
Bent bottom bar toward body with only 437hp 394tq on MT street ss tires.
Going to straighten an weld on angle along bottom both sides then flat plate from top to bottom both sides. Yes an extra 15lbs but will never bend again.
Will only have about 250 into it total.
I have looked an haven't found anything else that would be stronger without completely changing setup.

You would be better off going to Spohn Performance and buying a torque arm that can handle whatever you can throw at it. I know for a fact his Pro-Series design has been faultless in my car (800 HP/800 LB-FT at the flywheel), and I know for a fact that he had one of his TA’s in a 30th SS convertible making 1,350 HP, pulling 1.2x 60-foots, and running low 8’s at close to 170 MPH. Edelbrock seems to be out of touch with anything they ever made for the 4th Gens.
