    pinion angle
    « on: May 26, 2005 - 08:17:59 AM »
     Anyone know what the ideal pinion angle is on a chally :dontknow: I talked to a older guy and he said that it makes all the difference in the world for 60 foot times. And since I can't get below 2 seconds I was thinking this might be a problem because I never checked mine.

    it can make a HUGE difference
    for a leaf spring without ladders cal tracs etc 5*-7* nose down from the driveshaft angle , if you have 7 leaf springs closer to 5* is better

    the SS spring is designed to be very stiff in the fron tsection so again 5* should be pefect
