Wheel alignment for drag racing
Basically you want zero toe and as little camber as possible.
So upfront zero toe and put the camber bolt to the -1 setting and pull out on the top of the tire when tightening up the bolts.
In back set the toe to zero and accept the camber for the toe to be zero should be around -.5 to -.8 camber
Try to get the camber even from side to side to avoid drifting or pulling

id think if you really wanted a DRAG ONLY alignment to go with 0 toe all around. front camber -1 to -3 camber up front and in rear +1 to +3 camber...reason being when the car launches and the rear end squats the tire contact will change in the way i mentioned...there is no way to truly test the settings without trial and error but those settings wouldnt hurt your tires to crazy
ex. front +3 camber
front at launch 0 camber (most tire contact to ground)
rear -3 camber
rear after launch 0 camber (as rear end squats down)
ex. front +3 camber
front at launch 0 camber (most tire contact to ground)
rear -3 camber
rear after launch 0 camber (as rear end squats down)

when they did my alignment they actually strapped the car to the rack and ratchet strapped the rear down about 2 inch's ''compressing the suspension'' and then did the alignment. basically so when the car squats the tires are sitting flat on the ground.
