What are you F-body guys who are primarily streetcars and some autoX using for torque arms? Right now I'm stock. I have been bent on the idea of a global west trac link after the SOTP feel in a friend's car. But now I'm thinking a simple full length adjustable like the UMI 2205 should do the job without feeling too noticeable and noisy. What's your opinion?

For autox, youd want to stick with a full length style arm. A short length one with it's different leverage will plant tires better during accelleration but hurt the ability to brake just as much, and probably increase chances of brake hop quite a bit.

How much though is the real benefit of going from the stock torque arm to a full length tubular torque arm? What are the benefits. This is all I can think of:
-decrease chances of brake hop
-adjustable pinion angle for adjustable TA's
-any notice in difference between accelleration or braking???

I put on a UE decoupled torque arm last year. I'm still tuning around with it, but the traction under accelleration was instantly better. It's a great arm but a little bit more work to install compared to a normal torque arm.

Depends on the car.
The LT1 car I had used the arm section of a Global West Track Link and mounted with a custom mount with the "pin" of the arm in a rod end.
It planted like mad and didn't have brake hop.
I took it off because one of the Pro Solo's I ran the car wheel hopped on acceleration like mad. It went away, but I also made a shock change at the same time.
FWIW the even before that one with that arm it worked great.

If/when I do it again it will be a similar setup.
