Good TQ arm options

What adjustable torque arm (besides BMR) would be good for say 450rwhp and under $350?

Spohn torque arms have a pretty good rep.

There is nothing wrong with BMR. I have seen both BMR and Spohn products in person and like Spohn stuff better. Plus it is cheaper than BMR.

George baxter and Injuneer Fred both use Spohn I believe. I know a guy with one, he says its real noisy though. Another vote for spohn.

Another vote for Spohn! However, you will have to look real hard to find one under $350, including the mounting hardware The noise factor is a function of the front end mount optionolyurethane version = quiet, rod ended version = noisy. Hope this helps!

Actually, George used a TA built by Madman Racing, but extensively modified by "others".

I have the Spohn TA with a custom DS loop, to handle the extra length of the Gear Vendor.

Spohn parts are built to an extremely high quality level. I have almost all Spohn suspension parts, including his new "drag style" rear sway bar.

Thanks guys! Looks like I am going with the Spohn since I dont have the cash right now to buy sfc's that BMR Trak-pac requires since they really arent important to me right now. Plus the drive shaft loop already welded on is a bonus, and the fact they make one that will fit with my Hooker LT's and mufflex y-pipe.
