Haven't run my e30 yet, and don't know if I will but generally if you're looking for max traction you want very little camber, or even some positive camber, reason being that when you launch and your suspension compresses you will gain negative camber. Negative camber means less tire is in contact which reduces your ability to hook up. Since most of this isn't adjustable on an e30 I would just run some drag radials at 23lbs or so and launch it.

Tire rack has 215/60R14 BFG drag radials for cheap. We'll probably pick up a set. I'm also planning to run stock auto springs to get as much ride height (and thus weight transfer) as possible. We're running a 2.93... hopefully we manage to not break the halfshafts.
Anyone think a welded open diff would be better than an LSD?

I think it would be cheaper. Lots of "drifters" and drag guys use welded diffs. It's not uncommon at all. I'm on a tight budget. I'd do it.
I'm going to be picking up a set of those BFG's as well to run on a set of spare wheels. EVERYONE I know that runs those tires HOOKS like mad. Are you running this on the M50?
