The best driveline angle is the one where you don't get any driveline vibration. It will be different for every car.

I'm at -1.5* and I get some vibration at some highway speeds when I'm on the gas and it goes away when I let off. I was assuming its because the torque arm is now mounted to the chassis instead of the transmission, but I guess it could be wrong. I'll have to set it to -1 or so and see if I notice that going away.

you dont have enough pinion angle, wrong angle will ruin a tailshaft bushing..
