Default Caster Set up

I will be getting my Jimfab crossmember in the next couple of days. What is a good caster set up? I do mostly drag racing and street stuff. I was thinking like 2 degrees of positive caster. Any other ideas? Jim told me that the drag racers "pull them all the way up" but I dont want to kill my tires on the street.

Thanks

caster is a non-wearing angle. also postive caster is when the wheel is closer to the driver. not closer to the front bumper. the jim fab kit would give you negative caster if you "pull them all the way up" caster affects how fast the steering wheel returns to center. when a car has postive caster it can feel more darty not something you would want in drag racing.

you should try posting this question in the drag racing forum
