Nope........if it was FACT as you say, there would not be two obviously opposing sides. As with most everything, it is strictly opinion as to what guys thinks works the best.

You can show me all the charts, graphs, diagrams and anything else you want, but that doesn't make it fact. It makes it the opinion of the guy that drew them.

And facts or not, try the trans down, pinion up scenario that was mentioned above with any significant offset and a high hp car will spit out driveline parts faster than you can fix them. And while this result may not be a fact, it is something I KNOW will happen.
