Do you have scales? If not take it back to a chassis shop that does..

 

[440outlawdart]

no scales,from looking at it,its in the middle hole and -2 degree nose up

 

[440outlawdart]

Higher the bars, harder the hit, lower the bars, softer the hit. If it pulls to right on launch, tighten the left bar a tad bit.Is the car working now?I wouldn't mess with it.Just make sure everything is free, you can lube them too.
Scales are good, but you can do it without. I did mine in my Duster no problem.

I think its ok,just wanted to make sure there adjusted ok,and working find,my car did get loose at the track,along with others,one racer found there rear out of adjustment

One thing for sure is, most tracks are "green" right now coming off Winter.You might consider that too.

Talking about degrees makes me think you're trying to check your pinion angle? That's completely different then adjusting the instant center higher or lower. As long as your setup has front and rear adjustments on the bars, you can raise or lower the front without effecting the pinion angle. As "bahavan" said, raising the front of the bars hit's the tires harder, and getting a little loose can happen even with a good setup if the track isn't just right. Making some passes will really tell you what you need.

if it's working fine, why mess with it.
