Default Alignment specs for '88 vert needed

I'm getting new tires and want to get a four wheel alignment.
I've read a few threads that suggest I may want to have the technician adjust to "advanced street" or " towards performance settings"

Can anyone post or tell me where I can find these aligment specs for my car.
thanks

This link is to the Vette Brakes alignment chart.

I used the "Advanced Street" values on my 87 for autocross. Just ran a couple of events with that setting and it was much inproved over the stock settings. As the page mentions, turn-in was much improved but I have not seen any real problems with the car wanting to excessively "track" in the ruts found on a lot of highway surfaces.

I'm keeping a close eye on tire wear with the advanced street specs, but right now I only have about 300 miles on the car after the alignment.

I went with the same Vette Brakes specs on my vert. I love it and have not experience adverse tire wear. It "tramlines" a little more but not bad. You can get different specs from their website. I just printed them off and handed them to the alignment tech. Make sure you get a print out to double check it.
