Ok i think i found my confusion here, i got confused thinking pinion angle was the angle of the differncial and since i had it facing down -2.5 now i tought i was doing great
So correct me if im wrong but my pinion angle is at -4.5 right now
Driveshaft is -2
Differencial is at -2.5
Total: -4.5
Before without the shims:
Driveshaft was 0
Differencial was at +5
Total: +5
I used to have a really bad pinion angle :s

The rear u joint working angle is now 4.5 degrees and you front u joint working angle is 4 degrees which explains why you don't have any vibration, but the angles are still excessive. Try to get them to around 2 degrees front and rear by shimming the trans mount and using a smaller taper pinion shim.

Actually the way it looks in your drawing above it should vibrate like crazy. Not sure why I was envisioning the trans/ driveshaft angle the other way around, or positive.
