Not sure what you already have set up on the frame. There are a lot of vehicles from the factory that are set up with the tranny output shaft centered in the csr and the rear off set one way or the other. Here's mine

You guys are correct If the camaro and corvette used u-joints anymore. they use driveshaft couplers that look like this. They pretty much want it at zero. And it will give me better rim selection if I want to go 20x10 rims later on, If I add a turbo.
