I had three places measure my angles and they all did it for free. Took all of like five minutes. You need two measurements: (1) Transmission output shaft angle, and (2) Pinion angle. They should match and be opposite.
Before I fixed my issue, the angles were -4/+7 (transmission shaft down/pinion up). When I corrected the issue with longer lower rear control arms, the angles were -4/+3. Perfect for high power launches, because under torque, the pinion moves a degree to +4.

I think I got a brain freeze. I'll have to check with some local shops then. Thanks for the advice. What are my options if the angle isn't right?
