Edelbrock parts any good???

I know Edelbrock has a great reputation when it comes to go fast goodies. But how are there F-Body suspension parts? I can pick up their non-adjustable panhard bar and torque arm at summit racing for decent prices. Just wondering how their parts stack up agains BMR and Spohn.

Do a search for edelbrock torque arm. There was a recent post where someone broke one.
I'd stay with proven f body companies like Spohn, BMR, LG etc.

Go to LS1tech and you'll see posts where people have broken BMR stuff too.

Compare the Edelbrock TA to the stock one, it doesn't seem like much of an improvement. There are better companies out there IMO; check out Spohn,BMR, or Umiperformance.

I now have their adj. panhard rod. Its a nice piece. I also have heard the torque arm sucks. Go with umi performance on that one.

I think the guy that broke the TQ arm bracket had a 600 rwhp blown 383 though.

Re: Edelbrock parts any good???

The Edelboke arm seems to hold up to midly modified cars 300-450 hp maybe more maybe less. It also depends on whether you have an auto or manual or how you launch/drive. If you see yourself building power in the near future spend the extra dollars.

Re: Edelbrock parts any good???

Just adding my .02 to this subject...Whatever TA you decide on, you should definitely consider one that mounts to the tunnel brace holes and off of the transmission. I know that they are more money, but the stock TA flexes just enough to absorb a little of the energy transmitted to the tailshaft. When you add "beefy" aftermarket trans mounted TA you transfer everything to the tailshaft. My 400rwhp A4 car with a new Spohn TA ripped the tailshaft in half on the dyno causing all kinds of damage. I have since switched to a Spohn tunnel brace TA with TWO loops...Imho don't skimp here!! The TA is a MAJOR part of the rear suspension...and FWIW I'm partial to Spohn for their product quality and great customer service.
