Street/strip alignment

[CHAD]

Anyone have good specs? Do you perform with driver's weight in the car? I run drag radials so I don't need a negative five camber alignment, I need a decent handling street alignment that I can hook going down the track and run some high mph's as well.

Paolo, would love to hear your alignment spec ideas as you take your alignments very seriously from what I can tell.

Thanks,

Chad

Well, I have a theory, I use it on my car and I think it works. I set my rear to + 0.5 camber and -0.10 toe for a hard launch to get full tread contact and I set the front to -0.5 camber and 5.0+ caster with a + 0.10 toe. I set my front tires to 40+ psi and my drag radials to 14-16 psi and I cut 1.52 to 1.55 60 foot times with a best of 1.46...not to bad for a semi stock GTS on a drag radial. I am sure the pros out there will have the best set up, but this works for my car...hope that helps. Oh, I sit my skinny butt in the car to make sure everthing is where I want it...but that may be a bit anal and not necessary.
Later,
Joe
