I thought he said he liked 1/8 toe-in each side.

not worried about toe, more looking at camber and caster.... more toe just ='s more drag/tire scrub

0 cambe and as much caster as you can get. BOTH sides need to be set the same. Toe is critical. Always make sure it never toes out thru out front end travel.

you recommend notching the holes for more caster?

also- do you prefer the string method or on the rack?

You can get close to 5 degrees with aftermarket lower control arms. I usually use either bubble gauges or a rack but if it is on the rack then forget the stock specs the computer throws at you.

Luckily I seen this post a couple days ago... I just installed my PA Racing CM-Tubular K Member and A Arms. I didnt look at the settings, other than to get both tires toe in, since they both sat out badly. I mounted the tires and seen the fricken drivers tire is so far forward it rubs the inner wheel well...oops. But, I am getting the alignment done tuesday, so I searched for this thread and hopefully they (Midas) will meet my desires, as well, recenter the wheel in the fender opening. Thanks Madman for contributing.

Madman,
Would these specs also apply to a C5?
TIA!

The specs apply to any drag car.

1. Check the alignment on a 4 wheel liner, and have the tech print it out.
2. Repeat #1 w/ you in the car.
3. Have the tech jack the ft end up in 1" increments, and record/print each hgt setting.[You in the car]
4. Look at the different hgts, and choose the setting that is closest to the attitude of the car, when racing it.

We video'd the car, and looked at the attitude at speed...
We did this, as the car was "loose" after 130 mph.
We found that the ft end did not settle, even w/ the Moroso springs, and QA1's set loose.[Too much torque?? ]
Once we looked the alignment results, it became apparent why the car was loose... caster was going negative.
Once the ft end was "tuned", the car drove like it was on rails!!
