Depends on if it’s a race car or street driver.

All the hoopla about setting it parallel to the output shaft or to the ground leaves out one consideration, pinion angle is dynamic.



And it depends on what type of chassis setup you have. Ladder bars, Calverts, four link versus plain old springs.
All the Chrysler Tech tips back in the day advocated 5 degrees nose down on an automatic trans with SA springs.
With the engine in the stock location, etc.
Never had to worry about the front angle, just the back.
