Rear Alignment Specs for Drag Racing

Could anyone give me some good alignment specs for the rear of a Camaro for drag racing. I want it to still be good for everyday driving, but need to get the contact patch as good as possible for launching at the strip.
I'm running 18X9.5 +40 offset Corvette wheels and Mickey Thompson 305/45R18 Drag Radials.

Thanks!

Stock specs work just fine, unless you have a 1000 rwhp.

The stock alignment worked great for lower power levels.
After you change to a slick the alignment changes.

What suspension parts do the currently have on the car?
