Skip:  Not sure of the target speed but if you assume a dynamic down force
of 500-600lbs a lot of things move in that front end sheet metal when it
starts to squat. You definitely don't want it to move to a toe-out condition
and the only way to prevent that it to crank in some static toe-in. My
estimate would be about 1/8" toe. Also, you could test it in the garage by
loading some sand bags and then measuring to see which way it moves. -Kirk

What should the alignment settings be? I would suggest:
Toe............0
Scrub radius +/- 1/4" with 0 being optimum.
