Alignment specs for drag racing?

Ok well I was reading the thread about alignment specs for auto-x and it says that those specs hurt straightline and breaking but vastly improve cornering. Well Im looking for a setup for street/drag strip setup. Should I just run the same setup as they do for the street/autox cars? I dont need anything seriously competitive but I would like to get it set properly. This is for an FD.

For drag racing you don't want negative camber in the tires. Keeping them at 0 degrees will maximize contact patch size in a straight line.
