Torquearm question...

... maybe this isn't the right place for this, if not please move to the appropriate forum.


I have a BMR Tubular Adjustable TQ arm and back in the day when the car only made 364/430 the car went a 1.761 60' (on Nitto 555r's) with me to find later that my TQ arm was missadjusted the whole time. It was set to +2* instead of -2* I was wondering how much the car might be affected with having readjusted it to -2*? Takeing the car the the track right now isn't an option 'cause it needs a trans, unless they'll let me run the car in reverse, haha.

Did the car spin much? If you got good/any traction then there shouln't be much difference.

The biggest problem with the wrong pinion angle is misaligned U-joints, and the extra HP they absorb when they are not aligned correctly. I personally don't feel that pinion angle affects traction that much, as long as it isn't so far off that the reactions from the misaligned driveshaft/u-joints causes suspension bind.
