Default alignment ?

Does anyone have good alignment numbers or a good starting point. Im talking a stock eliminator style alignment, lol. The kind that takes wheel chalks to keep from rolling off in the pits,

Not me but if you want the correct answer you need to say if you are using stock sizes wheels and tires and back spacing !
The G S uses larger tires and different backspacing and different Alignment !
Got to be specific around here !
You might try the wheels and tires section of the site !

Find a hot rod friendly shop that will let you sit in the car whilr it's being done. You want them to adjust the settings while the front suspension is at max travel. Zero out the camber, put as much caster in it as you can and total toe in around 1/16th". That'll get ya started.

Thank you fordracer9, I've started to video my launches from directly behind my car. I hope to see what the car is doing on the launch and how the rear tire is contacting to track. And make adjustments from there.
