You should measure the pinion angle to set it. Mine is set a -3 and i know a lot of people have good results with this setting.

I can't remember if mine is at -1 or -3. I think -3 was more for the all track type of cars and the -1 was a good balance of street/strip performance.

-1.5 works for me

I've got -2.5 with a MOSER 12 bolt & 4:11's and the pinion noise is very reasonable for street driving.

Lets not forget the trans angle. Ideal setting would be equal and opposite angles between the two.

Driveshaft angle and pinion angle alone = possible problems. Trans yoke and pinion yoke angles should be equal and opposite.
