Because of "camber gain" you might even consider setting the rear at up to 1/2 degree positive camber. As the suspension compresses, the double wishbone geometry gains negative camber. For dragging, you want the rear tires square with the pavement under accel. Starting with 1 degree negative only moves you further away from optimum.

Positive camber WILL lead to somewhat unusual road manners, so be careful!
