Drag race alignment

I was wondering what alignment the drag race guys are using. I use my car for AutoX so my alignment is pretty diffenent. My original thought is to run zero toe and camber. I have been told that the Z06 tend to toe out under accelaration so I was wondering if a little toe in is recommended.

Thanks

Jose,
I am not a drag racer although I have made a few passes.
I think you will need a little toe-in as the car will tend to toe out some when moving.
0 camber sounds correct.
What you need to figure out is what alignment specs will allow the car/tires to roll the easist under 1/4 mile of acceleration.
No easy task.
Others on this forum are much more knowledgable on this subject. Hopefully they will join in.
Dave
