Check Out That Chassis

What would be the result of going to a longer torque arm on a '95 Camaro/Firebird?  I am considering changing over to your setup but want to make sure I am helping the car and not hurting it.  I currently run a torque arm that is shorter than yours by about a foot with the plate that bolts up in the driveshaft tunnel. Even if you can't reply on drag racing online I would appreciate it if you could email me a reply as I want to switch over to save weight as yours are considerably lighter than my current setup but like I said I don't want to kill my 60 foots in the process. Car now runs high nines with a mid 1.30 60 foot and has a 409 ci in it if that helps, with an automatic.

Rob,

With our torque arm over your shorter arm, you would gain better weight transfer and a smoother application of power to the tires. As long as you don’t lower the rear ride height the car will 60’ better then you are now and be more consistent, and it is lighter. You will have to put in our front cross member to mount the torque arm to. It can tie in to our connectors or we make one that will tie in to your connectors. Give me a call and I will hook you up with the whole package.
