Default CSX 6000 alignment specs

I'm switching from Billboards to Avons on CSX6022 and may want to adjust the alignment to be slightly more aggressive for autocrossing. The billboards were twitchy enough on the street that I didn't want to get any more aggressive.

I didn't do the original alignment, but below are the specs I got long ago from Shelby.

Street
  • Toe: Front: 1/8" toe out, Rear: zero-1/32" toe in
  • Camber: Front: -.75, Rear: -.25 [Note: +/- .25]
  • Caster: Front: +2.5, Rear: -.5 to -1.0 [Note: Rear casters should be as equal as possible]
  • Ride Height Front: 5.75” [Note: measured from bottom of tube frame to ground as far forward as possible]
  • Ride Height Rear: 6.25” [Note: measured from rear cross bar of frame to ground]

Track
  • Toe: Front: 1/8" toe out, Rear: zero-1/32" toe in
  • Camber: Front: -1.5, Rear: -.75 [Note: +/- .25]
  • Caster: Front: +2.5, Rear: -.5 to -1.0 [Note: Rear casters should be as equal as possible]
  • Ride Height Front: 5.0” [Note: measured from bottom of tube frame to ground as far forward as possible]
  • Ride Height Rear: 5.5” [Note: measured from rear cross bar of frame to ground]

Other notes from Shelby: “All measurements were taken from chassis centerline.”

How bad will the car’s manners be on the street if I go to a track set up? Should I split the difference on camber between track & street? Thoughts?
