Go with the lowest hole, and only go up if you encounter
wheel hop on braking. Otherwise it's all bonus. I see -1 to -2
recommended for pinion angle; more negative = more bite,
but more absolute angle error makes for more driveshaft
vibration and scrub which will make for pinion seal leaks
and general annoyance.
