Default Drag race suspension set-up

I have a question about rear suspension set-up for drag racing.
Where should I set the camber on the rear tires? When the car launches weight shifts to the rear and causes the tire/surface contact patch to change. In road racing we dial in about 2 degree's on neg camber and call it a day, but this to compensate for lateral forces not longitudinal forces (front to back) My instinct tell me to dial in about 1 degree of positive camber to compensate for the weight transfer/squat? I have IRS not a solid axle. The car is a 240 with street springs, so there won't be a lot of weight transfer.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
