Default Spohn Adjustable Torque Arm Questions

I have a Spohn Adjustable torque arm bar with the short crossmemeber mount.I measured the pinion angle and the driveshaft angle and they were both 0 with the tires on the ground.Is there a specific way to measure it? and is 0 fine or should i go to -1.I have a built motor and a turbo on the car and i have Mickey Thompsons 325x50x15 on the car.Im not sure if the tire size may change the pinion angle or not.

We set them up for a -2 on most cars, meaning the yoke on the rearend is pointed -2 degrees down. Under a load it is going to rotate up. Bob

I ran my LT1 at -4. I tried all different settings, and -4 gave me the lowest 60 time.
