Re: Pinion angle
If you're using regular "slapper" bars you're going to want more than 2 degrees with that much gear and that much weight. I'd try about 6 degrees! You can better control your angle with a "cal-trac".

Re: Pinion angle
Don't wait, get the CalTracs ASAP. Buy the springs, too. Fighting a car that doesn't work well is far worse than fighting a car that is a little down on power.
