"Chuck Cantwell, Shelby American GT 350 project engineer recommended...
2 degrees positive caster,
1 degree negative camber and
1/8 " toe in for all years of Shelby Mustangs." -fomoco.com

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!
