Default Settings from the track prep guide the best for the track?

I just purchased a 2015 used Z06/Z07. I immediately took it to the dealer to add the secondary cooler and set it up for the track. I told them to use the settings from the owners manual regarding track prep. Is this the best setup or have you guys found an even better setup for camber, caster, toe, etc?

Thanks Mike,

Is this assuming the stock MRC controller or using the TPC controller? I love the DSC I bought from you guys for my 911 but haven’t purchased one yet for the Corvette.

I'm not Mike. This is his alignment specs. The screen shot was from my alignment. The difference was night/day with this alignment.

Gotcha,

Do you have the DSC controller? My car is all stock but they are doing the MRC update. Not sure if Mikes settings would still work well?

Yes. The controller makes the "track" setting tolerable on the street and makes the car a whole 'nother level on a race track.

I have the stock controller with the update. Mike's settings work with the stock suspension. One thing left out in the post with alignment settings is Rear Caster. Mike recommends +0.7 vs the 0.0 GM recommends.

Bill,

Have you tried both? Any opinions with the stock suspension?
