Default front alignment specs for drag racing?

What are you guys with skinnies using for your front alignment specs?

I'll be running a 15x4 front with either a 165/80/15 radial or sportsman pro.

I always had the car aligned to factory specs and the car would go straight as an arrow, even though I had skinnies up front the car was just as solid @ 120+MPH as it was with the stock 16x 8's.

Set your camber to "0" caster as much as you can get (usually 4-5). Toe is tricky. Check toe at ride height set it at 1/16 toe in. Lift car till the tires just come off the ground recheck toe. Then squat the car like it has hard braking, recheck. Make sure the car never has toe out. If it ever gets toe out the car will dart left or right.

Madman gave me the 1/6th toe-in advice two weeks ago and we used it on Magnus' car, big difference he had like 1-2 inches of toe-in before. Car was dead straight.
