I wasn't having problems hooking, I set mine up with only about 1/2 a degree of pinion angle so that if it wanted to go left or right I would still have the front end on the ground. Now that I know it launches straight I put 2 degrees more in it to put some lift on the front. It was coming out of the hole flat but still cutting 1.37 to 1.40 60's. I am getting ready to spray it so I figured I better adjust it some to put a little weight back there. I did the same thing with my last car and everyone said it wouldn't make a difference but it went from coming out with the front flat cutting 1.47to 1.50 60's to pulling the front about 3inches and carrying it out and laying down real smooth cutting 1.35 to 1.37 60's.
