Default Pinion Angle

Is there a big difference from -2 to -3 degree angle? I bought an adjustable torque arm & thought it would help cure my traction issues at the drag strip, no luck. I am at -3 right now. BTW, I use the M/T ET Street Drag radials. Thanks

Maybe you need to say what your traction issue is first? I think mine is set at -2/-3 & I run 1.4x 60's....

17lbs..All the traction issues started when I went from a vig 3800 to a Yank SS4000. Since then I put on the Spohn Tunnel Mounted TA..It didn't help at all, I was just curious if that 1 degree would make a huge difference. It could be just the shitty tracks around here in california. 100 degree heat probably doesn't help either I am racing this weekend & the weather should be in the 70's..I just wanted to make the 1 degree change before I raced if it's that big a deal. It's wishy washy also..1 run no spin, next run it spins. frustrating when you try to bracket race. I might end up putting the vigilante back in. I have LCA's also.

Spins off the line..I have tried idle, different Rpm's, Air Pressures no luck. Might be to much converter for the car & track
