There ya go Rich.... And Todd is totally correct and I completely understand the issue with the low stance trying to be achieved etc.
In most cases -- you'd have a down tailshaft angle and a nearly equal UP pinion angle - but if YOU did that your driveshaft would be going UP towards the rear and interfere with the tunnel.
I was attempting to get you to understand that the angles are more than just one goes this way and the other goes that way... so that when you're setting this up you have a firm understanding of the possible issues of vibration and u-Joint problems you'd be creating. I also try to write so that others can read the posts and "get it" as well.
The more we all do this stuff -- the more respect I have for the engineers that design factory cars -- ala the Vette and Camaro etc.... they're getting huge horsepower in these cars and they have fantastic road manors and they're built in mass... Then we come along and try to do all this engineering in our garages.
