Quote: Plenty of functional vids out on Youtube to show that you set it off of the parallel planes between the tranny centerline and the pinion centerline. Somebody link them up. A picture is worth a thousand words, a vid even more.
The driveshaft can become part of the equation because of overall operating angles. But not likely on our race cars, jacked up 4 wheel drives , yep.
Just because there are plenty of videos, doesn't mean they are right for a race car............remember, we are RACING here, not trying to make the joints last 100k miles

See attached chart
Sorry, but I don't need that worthless chart to know how to set the pinion angle in my race car.......LOL!!
Only ONE thing to remember in a race car......Angles eat power. So while "under power" the want the driveline in as straight a line as it can possibly be within the parameters of how the parts are mounted. Set pinion angle accordingly. NOTHING else matters.
