This is what I've always heard too... I've never heard of aiming both the pinion and the trans downward, unless maybe you're building a drag car thats gonna be launching at 9k or something. Right now it appears my trans points down, and my pinion points up, but I believe the pinion angle is greater than the trans angle, necessitating a slight tilt downward to the pinion. That "angle locator" posted above is actually a protractor similar to the one I am hopefully borrowing this week to determine my exact angles, but as i said, visually right now, I'm gonna say my pinion needs tilted down a bit. I wasn't sure which bars i needed to adjust, but it sounds like if I want my wheels to stay where they are, i need to adjust top AND bottom bars.
