I am going to work at is more thismorning and see what I can do, I am hoping to get 1-1/2" or so up on the tranny.

Clarification on the rear pinion angle, are you saying it will roll up 4deg under accell?

I guess the question I have is if the tranny is still 1deg down, wouldn't I want the pinion at 3deg down so it ends up 1deg up under accel. I will probably move the spring perch rather then use shims.
