Those with caltrac experience, should I remove the angle shim to get 5.2 degrees or leave well enough alone? It is a crappy cast aluminum shim and I will eventually trade it out for a billet shim, but what do you think?

I ran my 65 at 3 and never had a problem. mopar65 3520 pound race ready 1973 Street/Strip Dodge Dart - Stock stroke 440/727 10.49 @ 125.0 on 93 pump gas & ET Street Radials. More to come...
