Thanks guys.....I previously saw both 5 deg and then 6-8 deg in a few posts so I just wanted to make sure.
I just got a new angle finder and it sure makes life easier.

I started out with 5 degrees. Steering was light and easy, but it had a tendency to follow dips and furrows in the road. I increased it to 8 degrees and that fixed it. I like the slightly heavier feel and the hard "center pull" that the car has now. Personal preference.
