Default Track alignment recommendations - Introduction

Hi, Im new to this forum, Ive attached pics of the car to introduce myself.

I got my engine back in, now I need an alignment. 83 944 ( 951 transaxle and brakes ), 390hp at the crank.

Track use only, 255/40 17 on all 4 corners, sprung stiff, big sway bars, not lowered much ( rules ), adjustable front camber plates. Going to run high performance tires, not sure when I get to switch to r tires, plrobably after I burn the current tires up.

So what would you recommend? I need something to start with, I know more camber than factory specs. But castor, tow? rear camber?

Thanks
Al

Front -3.25 camber slight toe out (1/8 total)
Rear -2.25 camber slight toe in (1/8 total)
Caster 3 or greater.

That will get you into the ballpark, take hot tire temps and adjust from there.

I perfer zero front toe, but Lemming's setting are close enough to let you fine tune. I am also runing slightly less camber as my R888 seem to work better like this.
