BMR torque arm vs Jegsters torque arm

Is there a big difference between these two torque arms performance wise?

The BMR is adjustable and the Jegster isn't but I hear good things about the Jegster.

Also would a Jegster clear true duals?

Haven't heard anything about the jegster, I've been wondering about it as well. I would go with the BMR because of the adjustablity and the assurance that is it a quality piece.

Shorter arms like Spohn/BMR Trakpack are supposed to work better but be noisier.
Arms that use the stock mount are quieter but give the rear axle more leverage on the chassis.
Jordon ran 10s w/ a stock torque arm.
Injuneer Fred says he picked up significant gains with his Spohn arm.
Somebody recently reported his Jegster arm contacting his driveshaft.
I'd go Trakpack (if you have BMR SFCs) or Spohn unless you are worried about it being a little noisy.

I think i may have been the one to first suggest the jegster to grip.

Yes install is more detailed. You have to remove the front seats and carpeting b/c the mount braces against the tranny tunnel which has to be bolted in from the inside.

He also said he has true duals, so IMO that should be the most un obtrusive mounting (no cross mount in the way).

I was curious as about anyones experience with the Mac torque arm kit, it also is shorter, mounts to the tunnel, is non adjustable but also includes a drive line loop. Looks nice and has a good price, any one use it?

I was taking a second look at the MAC as well. Someone must have some info on it?

I have the BMR TA and I am very happy with it.
Install was easy and it has been fun to adjust my pinion angle and see what happens.
