The shelby GT350 settings sound like a good compromise. You'll handle better than the stock, but wont wear your tires out as fast as a full race setup. Race prepped Boss302's ran something like 2 1/2* pos caster, 2* to 3* neg camber, and the same 1/8 toe in. With that much neg camber you'll corner great but go through tires like nobodies business!
