I'd just try it both ways and see which you like better, handleing and performance, that is if you can even notice a difference. Nothing says it has to be 1 way or the other. Too much info is a bad thing sometimes.

I played with mine once and noticed no change between 1/8 in to out.

yeah, well..thats what i was thinking, i don't think a person could tell a difference between 1/8" in or out. Think im gonna just leave it like this. At the least its alot closer to where it needs to be. It was 1/4" out. Thanks fellas!

Maybe, or just set the toe at 1/8" in and drive it. I've played the in/out vs the prop rotation game more than once and never seen any noticable difference. It may make a difference at 150 MPH, but at 70,80, 90, I just don't see it. My opinion, for what it's worth.

This is, of course, assuming you have a full hydraulic system, if not then it's any man's guess where your drives may wander off to.
