Most of the stuff I've posted is a result of me and Dean (mostly Dean) spending hours in the garage w/ our home-made alignment tools experimenting.
Basically, set the car up w/ the camber plates set to zero. Have an alignment shop set the car to something like -1.2f/-1.2r, .5 deg toe in front, zero toe rear. Then at the track, jack the front end up and go -1.5 or -2 more degrees in the front. Because the way the tie-rods are designed, adding negative camber will toe out the front wheels. So you will get around -3 deg front camber, a little front toe out (you'll have to learn to drive a car that's a little darty under braking), and -1.2/zero toe rear.
That's a pretty great compromise... for just a little work before the event adjusting the camber plates, you'll gain a ton on turn-in, much better front tire wear (on both the track and the street), and more ultimate cornering grip.
