A parallel to tiny amount of overall toe-in on the front.
At least 1/64" per wheel toe-in on rear --- under no circumstances allow any toe-out at the rear as it can cause snap oversteer.
Camber really depends on how you use the car and exact details os suspension but some negative camber is normal say -0.5 to -1.0 degrees.
Remember and measure all settings in normal loaded condition -- ie driver sitting in car.

This info came from MAC1 after I asked them the exact same question for my Indyblade.
Starting point 0.5° camber front and rear, 1.00° toe in, max castor.
but I'd go 1.5° camber front 1.0° rear with 1.5° toe in (good cornering , bit skittish flat out) soft on damping
Colin likes 1.00° camber front and rear 0.75° toe in (good alround BEC setting , loose but controlable back end) bit firmer on damping
You might want to set more camber on the rear to compensate for the posotive camber built in under hard cornering, but watch inner edge tyre wear.
bet your more confused now than when you asked the question.
HTH,
Rich.
