What is the Right Pinion Angle?
>Every post here says: "set the correct pinion angle"....well, what is the right pinion angle? I've heard everything from zero to -3*..I'm driving aggressive street and track days, not straight line dragging. What are you guys running out there?

Re: What is the Right Pinion Angle?
Each car reacts differently. For what you want to do with it, zero to -3* is about right. You need to see what works best for your car somewhere in that range.

Thanks....What angle do you have it set to? I assume you just go straight and fast with it!
