I agree Jeff, adjusting your pinion angle is not going to turn your tireburner in to a instant hooking machine.

The way I understand it is this: During launch, the rearend housing will rotate up. Your pinion angle should be set to where you could draw a straight line through the pinion, driveshaft, and output shaft of the trans during the launch. This would result in the u-joints being completely square with the driveshaft, which is were you will get the most efficient power transfer.
