I might try a little more toe out for auto-x use, especially if the car is still a little reluctant to turn in. I'm going to be trying 6mm (~1/4") out at the next auto-x on my car. That would actually make your street toe setting closer to zero, too.

And yes, caster is really nice if you can get more of it... the camber change & weight jacking effects as the wheels steer are good stuff. I've watched the scale numbers on a car as the wheels are steered off center and the weight jacking effect is very noticeable; it raises the weight on the diagonal you're turning towards, so it makes the car want to turn the corner easier.
