Is this good or should I keep working on it?
Backlash is 9 and pinion shim is 27.
Ford Racing gear set.

Previous gears were Zoom. The pinion shim was 39. I tried that shim first and the pattern was further out. I will attach a picture with the same 9 thousands backlash.

I am going to go with a 25 pinion shim next to see how much more centered the patterns get.
