Thanks to all who responded. I talked to Travis @ Calvert a couple days ago and he told me the somewhat the same thing. He said to measure the output of the transmission angle and the pinion angle and add them together. Should add up to -2 to -4 degrees. He said most transmissions are angled -1 to -2 degrees so your pinion would only need maybe -1 to -2 degrees. Got it set per his instructions. Going to give it a shot tommorrow.

Thanks again,
Ryan
