Default Caster setup for z10

I have an 88 rex w/b20, I recently installed the z10 member. I can't seem to hook very well, and the car is a handful to drive. Best 60" w/22x8x13 is a 1.88, with alot of wheel spin. 215hp 146tq, 12.6 @ 111.5 spinning. What specs should it be set at for drag racing? Thanks

I would get the car on a alignment rack, the car should not be handfull, unless the caster is not even side to side. A little bit of positive caster , pre load can help, but the main thing is to make sure the caster is even side to side, and make sure your 4 wheel alignment is straight.I would also check that the upper control arm is not warn out, years ago my car got real unstable all of a sudden turn's out the upper ball joint on drivers side was shot. Make it as close to stock specs as possible. Good luck.

Were those times using the MT slicks? What wheels were you using as well?
