I think you are out to lunch. The engine angle and the pinion angle of the rear end are what's important, not the driveshaft angle. If your engine is 3 degrees down, your pinion should be 3 degrees up. The will not be in a straight line but the angles will be parallel. This is best for street cars and daily driving. For drag racing you can bias the pinion angle down, maybe 5 degrees, to compensate for the natural rotation upwards of the rear axle under acceleration. This of course depends on your rear suspension type. you can also measure the yoke on the trans output shaft and you have to measure the yoke on the pinion shaft not the u joint.
My lunch was great thanks. Check out Dave at team z’s video, he pretty much wrote the book on small tire racing. He says the same thing I’m saying. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uvvqVbuvDc8.htmlsi=rm5oWsbOao9nzjkt
