Default Camber/caster settings for the track

What are u guys running for camber caster to help get these fwd econo boxes to hook?!..lol I kinda figure around 1-1&1/2 neg camber so when the car stands up the wheels lay back out, what about caster? Any help is much appreciated. I got a set of traction bars,new slicks,new steering rack, all new polyurethane bushings to take slop out of the suspension, and will be set up on boost by gear. Tired of the spinning game. Also..anybody using limiter straps? And opinions on those. The car made a lil over 500whp on low boost pump gas. Has been 7.50s @103-105 with a 1.72-1.75 60FT and can only net a 11.5@133. The mph is there, I wanna get it in the 6s in the 1/8th and 10s in the 1/4. Once I can get it dialed in on pump gas I plan on turning it up on race gas and hopefully go a lil faster. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Ive googled till my eyes hurt, so any high HP cars that don't mind helping me out or steering me in the right direction would be awesome!!! Thanks in advance

Tire was a M&H 24.5x9.5x13....now I have M&H 26x8.5x13, the old ones wouldn't get sticky hardly anymore (I was running same times on DRs)
Suspension-adj coilovers w/heavier spring rate in the back and damper turned all the way up on front and rear.

26s might be way tall for that setup. There's guys running 8s on 24.5" tires.
There's one car that I help maintain and setup that makes the same power as you. It's on 24s and with boost by gear we had it way too low in the lower gears.
Our problem was bogging off the line because the lower boost. So my advice is go with 24" tires, air them up to 15psi and setup boot by gear to let it have most of it right away then full boost 2nd on... Set launch controller around 6-7k rpms. If it spins lower the air pressure .5 psi at a time. There's alot of trial and error to getting the launches down.

We run oem specs for alignment also
