Default 1/8 Toe in the front? Total toe or each side

Would 1/8 be the total toe(both sides combined)
or would it be 1/8 for each side (totalling 1/4 total toe)

1/8 Total=.125 Left front .0625 right front at .0625
1/4 Total=.250 Left front .125 right front .125

Then I'm setting the Rear toe to 0 since it does see the street and just want to try this as a starting point.

The camber is going to be set a -0.5 for the front and -1.5 for the rear.

If any changes need to be changed just let me know your input. I want it to be good handling but I want good traction in the front to lanch, so I dont want the front camber to be to negative.

Damn dude, calm down. It's not like you're getting your alignment done today (unless you're doing it yourself). It's only been a couple of hours since you posted. 1/8" total toe out (1/16" each side).

Also, you may want to rethink those camber settings. You want more camber in the front, and definetly more than 0.5deg. Your launch doesn't make or break your time for the day, so don't worry about that. Run ~2-3deg negative up front and 1.5-2deg negative in the rear.

Because you want the front to stick better in the corners (more weight up there, so more suspension deflection, so more negative static camber). Do you have camber kits? If not, you're stuck with what you've got (or are you, I can't remember how the suspension is setup on the CRXs).
