I think where most of you have your problems with all of this, is the fact that you really don't fully understand the internal workings and dynamics of the common combustion engine. There is no magic tune up, and motors are stupid. The only time a motor will complain is when something is wrong.
Oh an here's another really good article about pinion angle and chassis tuning on a bracket car. no pro mods just your weekend warrior stuff, yet its all the same as pro mod in tech.

Pinion angle is a measurement not a set point, the change in control arm length is what changed the instant center, the control arm length change also caused the change in pinion angle. Pinion angle does not dictate IC, control arm length, angle does in a 4 link.

This thread needs to be brought back up.
I wrote this
And you give me negative rep and call me an idiot...
Thread: rear end pinion angle?
Your an Idiot! - Derrick aka I gotaneed4speed
Please tell me your current or past setup and what kind of numbers you had especially the short numbers. Make sure all of the specifics are listed to all of them.
me too
A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.
I sure did and still stand my ground on it. You posted a smart ass response to my about opinion on the measurement of pinion angle, you gave no factual data or any sort of information to back up your theory. You simply posted a your wrong, I'm right, comment an bailed on the thread until you realized I left you neg rep and called you a idiot. Now your back, asking me to prove my side of the debate yet you haven't shown shit to support your side of it. All you've done is say "Are you sure" implying I'm wrong and your right.
If you read thru the thread I have researched my side of it and posted lots of factual writings/data proving and supporting it. What have you done other than say I'm wrong and then get butt hurt when I call you a idiot. Now you want me to once again prove my side when you still haven't shown any sort of information supporting your side.
How about if your so right prove me wrong, if your so sure of yourself please post up something other smart ass comments showing any sort of information supporting your side. I will gladly change my views if someone shows and proves me in the wrong. I'm the first to swallow my pride and own up when I'm wrong or I don't know, then I do my best to learn from it for future. I think that's how education works, right?
I have nothing significant to post, I've honestly never kept a car long enough to have anything worth while. The red car I built in 09' I raced at one No ET the sold it a few weeks later, best 60' out of that was a 1.41 if my memory serves me right, it had issues lacking a anti roll bar make it leave a lil jacked up. I will gladly do a documented write up on the new car that's going together now although it is a back half ladder bar car not a SS mustang or leaf spring car. I think Anthony would classify it as a promod and say its not relevant. Oh and I left him negative rep and call him a idiot as well for the same reasons, saying I'm wrong yet not taking anytime to prove yourselves correct.
Sure Did.

Funny he called you an idiot but spelled the word "you're" wrong.

lol, true story. +1

That was my return neg rep to him

Well I won't name call, and my first reply was to a pretty vague post by you. I showed up to check on the the thread last night, and this was 4 days after you called me an idiot, not only after you called me an idiot. The reason I didn't add anything else is only because I am quite busy with family and work right now. It takes a little more time to post a well thought out answer and explanation compared to a copy and paste link fest.
Give me the rest of today and I will try to put together a well thought out answer.
