Well you can install the driveshaft without adjusting the pinion angle, but i'm pretty sure since you have the same springs as me you'll get an annoying vroom, vroom, vroom sound at 2500rpms. Very noticeable in 3rd, not so much in 4th.

I could be wrong, it will be interesting to see. My shaft could be slightly out of balance and adjusting my pinion angle helped, but I don't think so. If the shaft were out of balance i'd expect adjusting the pinion angle to be ineffective.

The Che adj. upper is only $145, my wife considers that pocket change compared to what i've spent on this car. Ever time UPS honks the horn I say "There's my supercharger!", she gets that deer in the headlights look every time.[sm=insomnia.gif]

I need to add those to my list of mods. Only thing left now is adjustable shocks and struts.
