Default Need Custom Tracking Specs?

When I put on the larger wheels and had the Vette lowered, I had them dial in some customer allignment. I believe the Vette was originally positive camber, but I went with negative camber for better cornering. I just don't remeber how much.
Does anyone have some recommendation I can pass to the shop? They will be re-doing my alignement on Monday after the balancer is repalced and the new tie rods installed.

this is within OEM specs, but maxed out for handling.

Front
camber -1.05
toe .1 deg in
castor 8.5 deg

rear
camber -.95 deg
toe 0.2deg in

btw, those are C5 numbers. The new C6 Z06 allows up to -1.6 front and -1.5 rear camber

This is a C5.

The castor seems quite high. 8.5 is correct?
