Fellas,
I am going to check my pinion angle due to a high speed vibe soon. If it is off can I adjust it with a stock Torque arm and how? Many opinions on this from what I can tell.
Also any advise on where to get angle tool cheap but decent quality?

can check, but not ajust,check the bushing, also they have been know to crack, it should not need adjusting if you are still at OE height.
I use a digle (?)angle finder from Sears ( about 40-45.00)

The stock torque arms are definitely not adjustable, if you are interested in an adjustable torque arm let us know and we can egt you set up with one.

Well as far as I can tell the only suspension mod is KYB shocks and struts. I don't believe my ride height has been altered unless these would do so. Is there something else that may cause a pinion angle change? Bent TA maybe?

...a bent torque arm, a cracked torque arm or like mine was - one with elongated holes on the axle side will do strange (and possibly intermittent) things to the drive quality of your car.
As mentioned previously, don't rule out a dead transmission side bushing or even a dead transmission mount. Both can be replaced with poly for longer life and more consistency. Any or all of these problems will make you contemplate not driving or possibly selling the car out of frustration if you don't know how to find them.
