yup. My pinion angle is at -1 degree’s. They recommend -2.5\* for the track and -1\* for street use. I have the magnetic dial, I check it all the time.

and I have found that the harder my rear shocks are adjusted, the better the car hooks up…softer, the worse it hooks. So right now I have them on setting 7.
