I run: negative 1/2 degree camber ( both sides),3 1/2 degree caster positive (both sides) and 0 toe in.I have my car lowered 1",and road and drag race it.I feel this is a good compromise for these,and daily drivin duties in summer.

Accorrding to my book (Camaro & Firebird Performance Handbook)
Street Caster L = +4 R = +4.5 Camber L = -.5 R = -.5 Toe total 3/32
Hard Street Use Caster L = +5 R = +5.5 Camber L = -.1 R = -.1 Toe total 3/32
Road Racing L = +6 R = +6 Camber L = -1.75 R = -1.75 Toe total (Short course 1/8 out, Long course 1/16 in)
Drag Racing L = +4 R = +4 Camber L = 0 R = 0 Toe total 1/32
Hopes this help you out.
