I agree that the advanced street set up is a good place to start. Run as much positive caster as you can get. They recommend 2.75 but if you can get more then do it. The zero toe will be a little twitchy so if you don't like that then put a slight amount of toe-in in. The rear toe is very important for high speed stability. Those numbers are good as well.
