Pinion angel help.

Hey guys I'm writing to ask about Pinion angle, I have replaced my upper control arm mount, my upper control arm and my lower control arms all with BMR suspension. I really like the BMR suspension but I've noticed that I still get wheel hop especially going into second gear. I'm going to include two pictures this is with the car completely flat and I have adjusted the upper control arm to what I think is the correct setting can someone please read this Angel gage and tell me if I'm at a -3. the first picture is with the angle Gage placed on the driveshaft. The second picture is with the angle Gage placed on the pinion flange. Thanks.

I wanted to add a little bit more to my question. I have a 2014 GT with the six speed manual with the track pack. I am told the angel needs to be set a -3 for the 6 speed M

Minus 2 to 3 degrees, and that is relative to the driveshaft angle as well, so you have to calculate the difference between driveshaft and rear axle.

-1.5 degrees cured all of the wheel hop in my '11 Brembo GT. That's the number I was told repeatedly at the S197 forums (best Mustang tech on the web for our cars) and it turned out to be correct.

I was really hoping for someone to tell me if these numbers are correct. I believe I am at -.5 can someone confirm this. I've also noticed that I'm almost bottomed out on my upper control arm I cannot adjust it much more with running out of adjustment on the jam nuts. As I shorten the length of the upper control arm it lowers my flange down towards the ground I don't have much adjustment left can someone please confirm that has had their angle set and does not have any wheel hop where there jam nuts are located. And if you have any more room left for adjustment. I'm taking the drive shaft angle minus the opinion flange angle which leaves me .5. 4 -3-1/2 =.5 Thanks
