Default corvette pinion/half shaft angle...???

on a regular straight axle car you need to have the right pinion angle to get everything in line to get the best of your components and suspension for a good solid launch w/out wheel hop and tire spin ect.... well since the C5 corvette has a solid driveline, but the half shafts seem kind of like 2 drive shafts off each side, is there a specific angle those should be at for a solid launch?, I'm still having major wheel hop issues and it just seems like its something not in line, I've got new bilstien shocks but a stock spring, the car is lowered on the stock bolts..... I'm thinking w/it lowered the half shafts are extended above the center line of the rear end far enough to cause problems, anybody know anything usefull????

ok, since nobody here has a clue, I think the halfshafts should be just about horizontal to the rear for the geometry to be close enough for there not to be any binding, I'm going to give it a try and let you all know how it goes, I hope it works....
