Umm.....no it isn't. And it hooks perfectly. Mods in sig. If I heat the tires a little by spinning them for a few seconds I can dead hook it on the street by just matting it to the floor. No bog at all. If I don't heat the tires (15 minute drive up the interstate only) I can hook it in first gear by just quickly rolling the pedal down, on the floor about 1/2 way or so through 1st gear. I can hit the spray immediately after the 1-2 shift on the street and it stays hooked. No spin, no bog. Wish I could take you for a ride. Even in 50 degree weather and 30 psi in the Nittos I can get it to hook well before the 1-2 shift without heating the tires any more than a 15 minute drive up the interstate.
.....and when you get it to hook in 1st gear, it is amazing how much it helps each subsequent gear. Car flies. I don't know if it is because the converter is stalling right for the rest of the gears or what, but when I used to spin through 1st it killed 2nd and then that didn't feel like it recouperated until into 3rd. Stock alignment and it just blew the tires off. Same tires I'm running now. When you get it to start hooking, it will start transferring weight back more and quicker, which makes the rear squat more, which means you need even more positive camber. Toe is actually +0.2 rather than +0.25, I just checked. You need positive rear toe. Without it, the tires will point outward on launch and it will feel like the rear is going wherever it wants.

I added pretty much BMR's entire product line before adding the blower.
Traction on stock tires was non existent at any speed. I added wider rear wheels and 315 Nitto NT05 (non drag radials). They stuck awesome. Little chirp from a dig on the street and insta-hook at speed. No track days, and a trip from MD to Indy for the fest and back last year and some normal driving (about 2500 miles worth) and they were bald. Add to that the fact that the car felt like a boat in the rain the one time I got caught in a storm and those will never be back on my car again. I could literally feel each corner of the car picking up at 35 or 40mph. I switched to Vreds and they seem to hook pretty well too for my street use. Haven't had them on a wet road yet.

Rear suspension being installed today, alignment scheduled for tomorrow if we get the clearance issues worked out with the BMR parts.

On our cars, without suspension mods, what do you usually recommend for alignment settings for a weekend warrior high powered setup that isn't worried at all about tire wear?

.25 of toe on each side isn't just a touch lol. That's a lot.

Please note that I am talking +0.25 degrees, not inches. I don't think 0.25 degrees is much at all.

That's more just on one side than factory calls for total. .5* total toe is a ton.

For a drag only setup you don't want any camber and very little toe,just enuff to help with wondering at the big end...I run a 64th on my car.With a 25 series 22 inch tire with a tread rating of 300 at 50lbs and a six speed I 60 in the 1.70s....We have helped a ton of people with their rear setups including the 5th gen record holder,GTO record holder and the G8 record holder as well as guys trying to get their first 11,10,9 etc. Alignment is ...HUGE with an IRS car HUGE
