It depends  on how it handles for your style of driving.  2 degrees sounds
like way too much.  One degree seems about right.  When the squat or conerning
roll comes in, that negative increases a lot.  Thus so does the understeer
(that's Mr. Slow). Tire temps are not reliable unless they are taken almost
instantly when leaving the last corner. Not with a heat gun either, but must
be with a needle probe. With the kind of tires used in this type of racing I
don't really think they mean ANYTHING. Get some feel into it.  Your ass will
tell you when it is good.  Unless you have swing axles negative camber is SLOW
SLOW SLOW.
