I don't know if any others have found the same, but my car seems to be pretty immune to the pinion angle setting (within reason). I've been everywhere this year, from +2 to -5 degrees and it doesn't amount to a hill of beans in my 60' times. My car runs at 2930#, with 365 rwhp on a 26x8.5-15 slick. I've got Megabite Jrs, Lakewood 90/10 & 50/50, CE pinion snubber, and 4-cyl springs on all corners (which have been chopped about 2 coils).

When my car was making less HP and still had a more stock suspension, the pinion angle seemed to make a little difference, but never a night & day difference.

Nowadays, I've been setting the pinion angle at about -2 degrees, just trying to get the DS near a neutral setting under load as opposed to trying to force extra bite with the rear by going steeper.

Just my $1.95 (inflation you know).
