I'd guess 0 toe and near 0 camber. OE caster setting is fine, cross caster near 0. That'd be my 1st ball park guess. I'm thinking toe & camber could add resistance, but I'm not a drag racer or know that chassis well for dragging.

What size front tires and how much 'street driving"? That might make me rethink camber, add a little negative.

I've seen guys get serious enough about their alignment to have it set with the crossmember jacked up a few inches to simulate the stance the car has running down the track.

Yup....first I heard about it was reading an article in CHP or Hot Rod about one of the factory stock racers and all (well, some) of the tricks they use.
