I had mine set to stock setting, however I then toe the tires so at launch you have the entire tire's footprint on the road. Check out my sig picture, the tires on the launch are flat and the car is working well.
I think VTB web site or something similar to that has alignment spec's. I went with the advanced street spec's and i'm happy with it at the track and on the street.
My car feels HORRIBLE when I have the slicks on it and skinnies up front, if there is ANY difference in air pressure between the back two wheels! Are you running street tires or do you have slicks on it. That may be why it feels all over the place.
With mine, it practically MAKES me change lanes on the road if I am cruising around and gun it with the tires as described above.
As far as with the street tires, it just spins them.

I have heard that some of the stock eliminator guys will get hooked up with an alignment shop who will let them be in the drivers seat and jack the front end up an inch or so while it is being aligned. The premise is that the car's alignment will be perfect how the car will be going down the track. I never did it in all the years I bracket raced because I still drove the car on the street some and figured that wouldn't be ideal for street driving. I did think it sounded like a decent idea for an all out race car.
Those stock eliminator guys are all abou the craziest little thing to pick up ET since they can do so little to their car - it's knowing these guys where I learned how to set up a leaf spring, small tire car to 60'.
