I don't give you these threads just because I like to point out old threads. lol!
 

These set ups were posted by Jeff as a starting set up. You will have to do a little testing and tweeking to get your car to fit your track and driving style.
They are a good reference for a starting point,

How about pinion angle and what effects it has when you change it?

Thanks,

Thanks,
RobertUse more downward angle for short tracks (more bite). Less downward angle for long tracks (more speed).  Also use less angle on dirt tracks to leave more room for travel between the rear of the driveline and frame cross member when going through bumps.

I found this on another web site.....quote]

Use a sledge hammer on the crossmember and you dont have to worry about clearance
