Carroll Shelby spent some time on Ford's computer to analyze how to get a Mustang to corner. He found that by drilling a hole exactly one inch under the stock upper A arm holes he could get much more neutral camber under cornering loads. You simply drill the hole down one inch and....
Your right this will improve the camber curve. But there is a trade off, the upper balljoint is no longer in the center of its range of motion, and bottoming out the car could wreck it, not a good thing, as I mean it could pop it out. It was a risk CS was willing to take. There is a kit out there with a angled spacer for the ball joint that will allow you to move it even further, about a inch and a half, and do it safely.
