Crakajax crunched the numbers and found that for every .25" of movement a gain of 1.4 degrees is gained. So as an example:

My truck currently is 2.7 on the left side. Just replacing the shaft with the 6147 number should net me 4.1 degrees which isn't bad. If I drill the index at 1 7/8" (1/8" equals .7) my caster would be at 6.2 and at the 2" mark my caster would be at 6.9 degrees.
I can measure the Moog Problem Solver shafts that I recently purchased & compare them to my OE shafts that were removed.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
