Default Upper control arm bolt torque spec

Hi . Does any one know the torque spec for the upper control arm bolts? I’m preparing my c8 for Sonoma track event next weekend . Planning to put the washer between the bolt head and arm before taking it to the shop for track alignment .

What is the max camber I can get without moving the washer? Anyone track in a less aggressive alignment then the -3 camber .
