Default C5 Drag Racing Alignment

Hello,

Just wondering what alignment most people are using for drag racing for sub 1.7 60' with drag radials and not so skinny skinnys up front?

Thanks in advance!

0 camber and zero toe in the back will help plant more tire. You could also remove the front sway bar for weight transfer to the rear. These are cheap mods that will help and almost free

Thank you!

Front sway bar is long gone!

Put weight in the trunk when aligning so it it is as close to zero camber and toe at the point it matters the most. We have cut 1.2 60' times this way.

Long time no chat! Hope everyone at ECS and your families are doing well!

How much weight do you generally put in back? I've got Phadt's coilovers all around. Softest in back, firmest up front?

Thanks, back at ya!

We took close up side video of the car during launches to see how far down it squatted and equalled it in weight. I do not recall what the actual weight amount was though, sorry.
