what does a TQ Arm do
how has your car performed with the addition of a new after market tq arm, does it weight transfer better, lift the front end more, and reduce wheel hop? Has anyone seen 60' times decrease
i already have lower control arms and just got my edelbrock TQ arm in but will not be able to install it til my tranny comes in

My life is a- Ben Stiller movie.
TQ arm is the shit-you'll put more power to the wheels becuase the rear end/drivetrain can't twist as much with the after market one. The real way to see a huge difference is to get a chassis mounted tq arm [much more expensive] and the rear won't twist at all b/c it's not holding on to the tranny [which has some movement]. But you'll definately be happy with a new tq arm b/c everything is better than stock

If you get a torque arm while still having a stock rear, and then upgrade to a new rear like a 9 inch. Would there be any problems with the torque arm ? Like needing a new one ?

1 thing to remember about TA, though...
there are mainly 2 types of them.. connected to the frame (which tend to be shorter) and the ones connected to the tranny (which tend to be longer).
The stock one connects to the tranny.
Question to ask ourselves... what's the difference between both approaches ?
In a nutshell, the shorter version allows for great transfer on acceleration, since the TA is shorter... BUT the longer version will help you a lot more during braking.. also note that the longer it is, the less wheelhop you might get during braking.
So short is great for acceleration, long is great for braking... chose your poison.
If you're into drag-racing, the short might be the answer... if you're into handling, road-racing and don't want to compromise braking, longer might be the answer.
There is a hybrid solution that aint free and works great, allowing for a TA that changes charateristics based on its load... when accelerating, acts like a short one, when braking acts like a VERY long one... it's the UE-TA... great product... but you get what you pay for.
Anyways... some ppl just go w/ the short version because it connects to that frame and not the tranny, removing stress from the tranny... but lots of ppl aren't aware of the implications of a shorter one.Eugenio_SS

I run the edelbrock ta as well from summit. There is a definete differance the is a much better feel of the weight transfer, you can feel the rear squat and the front lift. Sorry can't provide a link since summit is not a sponser but I'm sure you could find it if you look. Some of the sponser may carry it as well I have not looked.
