which torque arms are better than others ? which is best for the money ? which ones to stay away from ? i heard that the edelbrock ones snap at the adjusting bolt ? any input would be great . thanks

 

I like the BMR trans mounted adjustable with poly mount. I had the spohn tunnel mount and it was noisy.

 

I looked at the Edelbrock, you get what you pay for there. It is small and weakly built compared to my UMI. The tunnel mounts will always be noisier b/c they mount to a section of the body that was not reinforced for it, plus they change the geometry that was designed into the factory mounting system. The factory mounted unit with a relocation kit seems to fix most of these issues, but will cost more.
AFA brands, UMI, Spohn & BMR all have quality products. Some are more expensive, some may offer more after-sales support.

 

I have the Spohn trans mount. Very nice.
Whichever one you get, I recommend longer bolts. Spohn sells them too.

 

Agreed!! I had the spohn tunnel mount one on my car for 70 miles and yanked it right back off. Too noisy! Put trans mount bmr adjustable on and i love it!

 

I've been running two different versions of the Spohn Performance chassis mount torque arm, over a period of 11 years, and have not had any issues with noise. Yes, its there in the background, but the performance gains outweigh it.

I would go with a UMI or spohn tq arm.
