Anybody done this to your 4th gen? Did you notice any differences? Noise,vibration ,etc. At what power level should you be worried about tailshaft breakage?
Just wondering if its worth $239?

yes I did it and I thought it was a great mod. I have really done any serious launch with it but it seems like pinon angle was easier setting it and you can adjust instant center with one which is pretty cool. I have the UMI relocation x member. -
I was wondering if it would help 60ft times? I have UMI torque armsigpicJust a slow 400 plus RWHP LT1.....428/370 NAComment

I don't see it making a drastic change in 60' at your power level, but taking that strain off the tailshaft should mean more in that sense. The faster your car gets the more adjustment the IC has the better.Originally posted by FASHOOTER View PostDoing less with more

To be honest, I didnt really have a choice but to get it since i went th400, but I was going to do it for the 60e anyway.Originally posted by FASHOOTER View Post
I just really do not trust having that arm attached to the trans, I seen spencer break his tailshaft off on the dyno and even though it was probably due to the bad trans mount, it wouldnt have happened if there wasnt a torque arm connected to it.
Its more of a peace-of-mind thing for me. But to answer your question, yes I think it will. Its basically solid mounted to the frame at that point and it will take all slop out of it, making it much more stable and being able to plant the tires more consistentlyComment

This was perfect timing for this thread as I have been on the fence about the relocation crossmember myself.

yeah I know. I was always worried about that damn torque arm too, then the first car I seen on the dyno was spencers... I was a little nervous putting my car on it after seeing thatOriginally posted by steddy View PostComment

Your nervous! I cant believe I have the balls to do it again! lol I want to relocate mine, just because of last years incident. But im a cheap bastard, so it probably wont happen till next year.
Sure would be nice if my car could avoid a trailer this year. Every year for the last 3 years my cars been brought home on a trailer from somewhere at some point in time....1999 Camaro - 6 liters of fury.....
