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

-.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).

That should do a fine job for you.

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
