Your well prepared then

Your top plate angle can be anywhere from 25-35 degrees and you won’t notice any difference

But your down angle is able to make quite a difference to engine load, 60 degrees down angle is comfortable for midsize saws and 55 and 50 degrees will suit high hp saws as the closer to 50 degrees down angle the more aggressive the chain self feeds

At any down angle rakers can’t go lower than .5 of a mm below the top plate or the chain gets “grabby” and vibrates and slows down
