Pinion Angle? Do I have this right before I cut it up?

I like to keep it simple: trans is down 2°
Pinion is up 4°
If you were Using shims:

2° Shims = will put the pinion parallel with the trans.

Increasing things for the strip:

4° shims = will put the pinion 2° down from the trans. That’s better.

6° shims would put it down 4° down from the trans

Need to determine the driveshaft angles as pinion angle is changed, as then you get the working angles. That’s really important
Strike a happy medium, weld em up.

Thank you, that simplifies what I was trying to say. From everything I've read, 5* to 7* down angle should be utilized for launching drag applications. Such as this. So if I wanted to get it to 5* down, I would need a 7* shim, OR cut the perches and relocate which is what I'm going to do, just need to get confirmation I'm understanding it all like I think I am before I do
