Hello folks, Would any of you recommend trying pinion angle shims on ruster as a way to improve bite or 60' times?? I have no Caltracks or four link etc.. just stock type Leafs..
Thoughts?
I have pinion angle shims in 2*, 4*, 6*..
Currently running with no snubber and Clamped front segment.

When I checked my angle after the driveshaft explosion it was 1* down..
Just trying some things.. or at least bench racing about them..
car wont go faster if I dont try out new ideas (or at least untried ideas) on ruster.

| Find the angle on your trans yoke and put it 3-4 down from that.

Cool . thanks for all the replys guys..
Once I get the new Alt Mounted and working on the car I am going to try some of the shims and I also have one of the spring packs modified like Guzzi Mark Suggests ready to bolt in..
Just gotta get me time to do all this junk!

You da man, Greg. You'll go 11s with your other converter, and I'm sure you'll keep walking it down. Records in your future?
