i keep snaping tA when shifting hard is it me or could it be something in the car

 

What kind of torque arm and how much HP/TQ we talking about?

 

Somethings gotta be wrong. I've seen cars with stock tourque arms running in the 10s and carying the front tires for 20 feet or so.

 

I agree with ya on that one.

 

Suggestion - Add a "signature" with basic info about your car, like year, model, tranny type, and any major mods. Without that info, its almost impossible to give a meaningful answer to a question like this.

 

meh, ive just got a full bolt-on & exhaust LT1 and i snapped mine right in half tearing up a little hill once.. there just stamped steel POS's, but maybe there hit or miss like 10bolts

 

just because it's stock doesnt mean it's bad. some are running some pretty low numbers on stock. i think low 10's is on a stock bottom end....and TA. stock heads flow pretty good if ported, stock 6-spd tranny can handle 450 tq easily enough....any way....there has to be something else in the line that's causing you to break a torque arm. it's just there to keep the axle in line. i dont think you're pushing the numbers to crumple a torque arm....but, look into a bent axle/rear, woarn bushings in the lower control arms, woarn shock mounts...that's about it...
