Dont talk 541t bet you own an indy.
The rear is shimmed some thing 1 degree toe in and 1.5 vertical.
The best person I know re these matters would be Matt from Procomp.
Mines set like that and its ok.
If you are using the hoop wishbones on the top at the front discard them and get a set of wooshers bones
You will save yourself so much grief in the search for handling.

ron car so very interested in the results of the thread).

Where do we start 
Top bones need more caster
the cockpit needs round tubes along the outside and up to meet the rear hoops.
The top seatbelt mountings are way to low
could do with some extra diags in the front suspension box.
The lower bones are a problem if a heavy engine is used
other than that its built to a price and using non custom parts.
Now how much do you know about Birkins with a live axle?
