Default Set my pinion angle today

So I bought a digital angle finder off ebay and i picked it up at the post office today. I took the car to where i do my dyno tuning and used their drive on lift. The angle of the transmission out put shaft was +.1 so it was basically level. The angle of the rear was +1. I went ahead and did my adjusting and set the rear to -2.1 so now my driveline angle is -2 and my pinion angle is -2.1.

I drove the car and what I noticed was that on bumps and potholes the rear of the car doesn't hit so hard like before which is a good thing. As far as hooking any better that is still to be determined. its cold outside and the tracks are closed around here.

The pictures on this site helped me out.

I ordered some torque arm pivot plates to raise my instant center up about an inch. Once they get here I'll put them on and readjust to make sure everything is in line.
