The torque arm is what is connected to the tailshaft of the trans and the rear....the part used to remove it is called a wrench and/or a ratchet

No I meant like the bracket that makes it attach to the chassis versus the transmisssion. But I got it now, torque arm relocation bracket. Thanks though!

Pricey too, almost 400 bucks... is it a worthwhile investment?

Their tunnel brace mounted torque arm is a nice piece....and chrome moly is way lighter than mild steel

I am hesitant to drop the driveshaft, and I don't run faster than whatever is needed to require one.

Eh? You referring to a driveshaft loop? You may not be running fast enough to require one.....but what are you gonna do when you hook it up well for the first time and the factory driveshaft comes through the floor?
My car has never even left my driveway and I have a driveshaft loop for it. Better safe than sorry, and they are cheap.

I guess that gives me an excuse to get a new driveshaft while I am at it. But in all reality, I doubt the driveshaft will go before the mighty ten bolt.

Most people upgrade to an LSX drive shaft right?

That upgrade is because it's aluminum and lighter. I don't think it's stronger than a steel LT1 driveshaft.
Ideally you would want an aftermarket aluminum shaft for most applications, but that's more money. The stocker should be ok for now, but I'd stick a loop on it anyway.
