Default Billboard Alignment Specs?

OK, I decided to get a set of Billboards. Any suggestions on alignment specs. on an ERA car?

The only thing to change is to keep to the high end of the toe-in spec.

For track work, reduce the toe-in to zero.

Yes. 1/8" toe-in. That will give you a little more straight-line stability. But those tires "hunt" under some conditions no matter what.
