Who has done a custom alignment?

I'm getting my car aligned and I was thinking of straying from Porsche's specs. Fisrt of all, am I reading it correctly that the factory spec for the front axle actually has 5 minutes of POSITIVE camber? I was thinking of going to about a degree negative (providing I can get there on the stock suspension adjustment) with minimal toe-in.

Also, I noticed the toe settings fr and rr are 5 (plus or minus 5) minutes of toe-in. Does this mean it's safe to run nearly zero toe all around? I want to run nearly zero toe, but I don't want the car to be too twitchy at the limit, nor do I want to KILL my tire life.

I'm trying to reduce low speed understeer a bit w/o making the car too twitchy or killing my tires.

Long story short, has anyone tried a degree of negative camber up front, stock rear camber and minimal toe-in all around?
