True and false.....Chrysler offsets the engine for more floorpan clearance at drivers feet. (other manuf. Also may do the same)The working angle differences from the trans output shaft to pinion shaft is sufficient for rolling the U-joint needles even if both angles are the same, it doent mean each axis will be on the same plane......this creates the angle differential needed to "roll" the needles. I truly dont believe this is much of an issue on a drag car anyway.
