Default Pinion Angle Question???

I have a chasis mounted adj. TA, so after several test passes my car was most consistant and pulling the best 60' with -3*. So I decided to add relocation brackets. I set the LCA in the middle hole and adj my TA to get -3*. Car was junk, rear end wanted to come up, had 0 weight transfer and a terrible 60*. So i put the TA at -2*, 60's were good and consistant but still a .10 off what my 60's were without the relocation brackets. So, what pinion angle do you use with relocation brackets? Thanks for the help. I am startng to think that my car may be better off without the relocation brackets. I will be taking my car to a TNT next friday to try and find the perfect spot but all input and help would be appreciated.

To know if you the relocation brackets are working or to much, you need to know how hard the car is planting the tires

Are you adjusting the front mounting point of the TA (if yours is adjustable) up and down or at the rear? The reason I ask is that you may be changing the instant center drastically. I can't see the relocation brackets hurting you especially if they were close to parallel to the ground.

Keep us updated.

Is your car lowered? Mine is lowered and I use the middle setting with no problems.
My pinion angle is - 2 degrees.
