The torque arm is off on adjustment if it is clunking bad.Pinion angle has to be perfect at 0 to -1 degree's

hmmm - set at -2 degrees. I'll try again. I feel EVERYTHING now! Worse is vibration up to 30 mph (even out of gear) but when coasting sounds like my exhaust is going "blap-blap-blap), but it's not. It's under the car, same noise coasting while reving the engine. No bad noise except the rear while under acceleration. It does sound like wrong pinion angle..
I'll let you know

Just make sure it's done right. -1 degree could end up be positive on the pinion angle.My Hawk was actually positive 4 after the pinion was zero'd out.

used this method with the same tool:
http://www.rosslertrans.com/Tips/Pinon.htm
made the trans and rear on the same plane then dropped the pinion -2
I'll have him bring it up 2 degrees and drive again.
