Alignment specs?

I got my IROC aligned last fall after putting on new struts and shocks. As the weather broke for a moment here in PA. me and the GF took it for a ride. Just coming out of the driveway onto the street the car seems to be like pushing near full lock almost like its grinding the front tires on the pavement. The guy who did the alignment stated it drives like an 88 Camaro. My car has 16 in rims with 245's on all 4 corners. When I bought the car back in 93 my alignment guy (different guy) stated that the specs listed for the Camaro did not work on 16 in IROCs. He had a special setting for the front end he called Autocross spec. He's no longer in the business. The car handled and turned wonderfully after he worked on it but that tune is gone. Can any body here enlighten me on what is wrong and what I should ask for when I take it to get it re-aligned again. Thanks.

Post your current alignment readings.

Camber on a street car should be ~3/4 degree negative left and right. Try and get caster about 4.5 degrees positive. Total toe should be zero to 1/8" toe in.
