PINION ANGLE

Depending on your car specs, and what you plan to do (drag / roadrace / street) you might adjust for different angle (by a degree).

Stock is typically about -4 (pointing the pinion down). The more control your suspension has without compliance (stiffer bushings...) the less deflection, and thus not needed as much negative pinion angle. You can then set them for -3 degrees.\

Check with other drag race buddies on what their setting are. Just make sure the motor - driveshaft - pinion are "equal" (or balance out like -4 to 0 to +4).
