I agree with Alan.....I use .004 at the tightest spot when checking and set the pinion so the tooth pattern is closer to the inside of the ring gear than in the middle in a drag race application. Under a load the pinion tries to move toward the outside of the ring gear which could cause chipped and broken teeth.
