My guess is he got it calibrated with a little more negative camber and positive caster?

probably dialed in a little more camber and set the balance up for rotation

Went out to Big Willow this past weekend to try out the new alignment settings. Car feels much better under load with much better rotation compared to stock. Entering turn 8 @ 115 mph =

Anybody know how much a standard alignment should be? I'm not looking for custom settings, just back to OEM spec! No camber kit installed (yet)

West End charges 90. Evasive also charges 90.

I'm sure you can get it done cheaper, but do you want something "in spec" or "dead on"?

Ford Motor Company was simultaneously manufacturing a car model with transmissions made in Japan and the United States. Soon after the car model was on the market, Ford customers were requesting the model with Japanese transmission over the USA-made transmission, and they were willing to wait for the Japanese model. As both transmissions were made to the same specifications, Ford engineers could not understand the customer preference for the model with Japanese transmission. Finally, Ford engineers decided to take apart the two different transmissions. The American-made car parts were all within specified tolerance levels. On the other hand, the Japanese car parts were virtually identical to each other, and much closer to the nominal values for the parts - e.g., if a part were supposed to be one foot long, plus or minus 1/8 of an inch - then the Japanese parts were within 1/16 of an inch. This made the Japanese cars run more smoothly and customers experienced fewer problems. Engineers at Ford could not understand how this was done

Evasive uses a Hunter (computerized)

Computers dont align cars yet, they are all done by hand.
