Depends on how hard you launch, and what else has been done to the chassis...
4° is about right for a high-power car with really sticky (not street) tires. You will have more driveline vibes and shorter U-joint life set up like that on the street. 1 - 1½° is good for a street car.

I run 3.5 degrees on my car all the time,no bad vibes and with sticky tires(ET streets) it hooks so good,This is with a manual trans also.I drive it often on the street and after 1 year u-joints are still good,but yeah they will wear faster with 3-4 degrees as opposed to 1-1.5.

Well I got the TA on and I got the rear to -5 and the driveshaft to +3.5 so I think -1.5 pinion should be good.
