I had some pretty good results early on last year running +2 degrees forward on the LR and +1 degree on the right. I didn't just crank it in on the radius rod though. I squared the rear using our usual method of leveling the frame, and getting the rear end center and square using the jacobs ladder location as the determining factor for driveline length.
I leveled the cages first and then added my degrees with turns on the radius rod. Lastly I adjusted the arm length to make sure they went together free, and hooked up the arms. By doing it this way the rear stayed centered and square with no binds but had the timing in the cages. If I had just cranked on the radius rods the rear would have been bound up. The car seemed to have pretty good forward drive with this setup. The driver I was working with liked the car a little tight so that is why I opted for more left rear timing to give a little more left rear drive. Seemed to work ok.
