We will be building whatever setup we do in house, so fab and ease of install is of no worry to us. Just looking for the best possible all around setup.

I talked with Larry at Prodigy the other day, VERY helpful. He felt that I can't go wrong with a torque arm, but I welcome other insight.
I would suggest a 3-link. its more adjustable than a torque arm and can have more antisquat if designed correctly. But it will be going through the stock sheetmetal.

3 link is awesome if you dont want a back seat.
how much anti squat do you want?

just did some quick calculations the anti squat on the Torque arm is 71% 87% 102% in the 3 available mounting locations. if that helps anyone.

Blake,

In a camaro a back seat is not possible with a 3-link or maybe two bucket seats on either side. In my falcon I am building a 3-link to stay in the trunk and not enter the passenger compartment. my A/S range in 50-100% while keeping the LCA horizontal at ride and a minimum IC of 50". For drag racing I can have up to a 150% A/S.

Torque arms are great if you want to keep all the suspension under the car and make it a bolt in.
