Does anyone know if the pinion angle can effect 1/4mile time and what a good pinion angle would be?

wont affect 1/4 times, itll affect gear life.
If you have the two piece DS still, the pinion angle cant be affected at all. If you have a one piece, it can slightly, but i dont know how to do it w/o an adjustable torque arm. -
Your pinion angle will hurt performance depending on the degree of the angle. Cars come with a pinion angle of 0* which means that there is no bind/preload in the driveline/suspension. Many people switch to an adjustable torque arm so that they can chance pinion angle and improve 60 fts. According to my Spohn install directions of my adjustable torque arm they say -1* pinion angle is good on modified daily driven cars and -2-3* on high HP cars. They also say "there is no need to run more negative then that, it will actually hurt you performance because it will induce drveline bind."Ben<br /><br />1995 White/Black 3.4L<br />As far away from stock as possible<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=288292\" target=\"_blank\">My Site!!!</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.redlinevsix.com\" target=\"_blank\">RedLineV6</a><br />Rebuild and 3.4 T70 Turbo is complete<br />Details to come....Comment

^ agreed. it will not change the driveshaft cause of the bearing but then again it wold not on a 1 peice as well cause the U joint will take the change. The pinion angle is a direct relationship of the pitch of the rear end. it really has nothing to do with the driveshaft. In a perfect world your car would be at 0 from factory. but since it;s never a perfect world maintaining that relationship with an good TQ is a key factor1996 Silver camaro Z28.

I went to the track before i got it adjusted (jegster ajustable torque are) and the shop that did it said it was at 17 and the put it at - 1 my alinment was also off. How much do you think this would have on my 1/4 mile time?Come Check out my car and sign my guest book <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/chevyfreak_boy\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/id/chevyfreak_boy</a>Comment

it's mostly a traction issue. you can upset your lauch and get wheel hop if your pinion angle is too far deflected1996 Silver camaro Z28.

I’m new. I actually don’t own a Camaro or firebird. I do have a 2000 Camaro 3.8 fly by throttle and 4l60e. This is installed in a 1980 Triumph TR7...3 weeks ago -
Not much going on, replaced my Kenwood double din stereo with a Pioneer double din, the Kenwood had problems. Then replaced my power inverter for my reverse...3 weeks ago
