What are good street/strip alignment settings? I was thinking zero toe, slightly negative camber and 4-5 degrees of positive caster.

 

ttt any help

 

That's about what I'd tell you.

-.5 camber for mild street (not too worried about upgraded handling) use.
-1.0 (or even a bit more if possible) camber for upgraded handling
4.5 castor
0 toe

That should get you fixed up. More negative camber will help handling and cause slightly faster wear to the inside edges of your front tires (I ran -1.3 and got 30k out of front tires, so it's not too bad).

 

Thanks, I have a Wolfe drag bar so I am not trying to get the car to handle great in the turns.

 

-.3 to -.5 camber
0 toe
4.5 castor

That should do a fine job for you.

 

What about a castor split? Do fbodys need a castor split?

 

Just curious, what are the stock alignment settings?

 

I don't use castor split. I don't feel it's required for a car that you want to handle better than stock. That's my (and many others) personal preference, but I've never used a split on my F-bodies. I'm not sure if that really answers your question or not.

 

What is a castor split Kevin? I have +4.5 driver and 5.0 passenger ( from back in 2003, I'm sure it needs a new alignment ).

 

That's castor split. The premise is that it will help a car track straight when driving on a road with a "crown" (the center is higher than the edge so that water will drain off....which is actually most roads). Since these cars hunt and wander with bumps, grooves and other pavements issues, I prefer to keep the castor the same on both sides in an effort to keep the handling as uniform as possible.

 

A vehicle will always pull towards the axle with the least positive castor. So if your castor is 4deg left side, 5deg right side the car will tend to pull left. Also remember that negative camber helps a vehicle corner but takes away from straight line stability. If you dial in lots of neg camber your car will tend to hunt and follow road lines on the highway. You might have to experiment to see what
you like.
