The way I look at is:
More camber gain (more angled link) gives the car a controlled slide.
Less camber gain (less angled link) gives less slide, but will break traction more suddenly.
I try and run the least amount of camber gain without the sudden loss of traction
so your saying if i take the camber link down and let the car rotate more it will give me more grip

2. If bearings are clean, check and make sure diffs are all shimmed correctly - so not rubbing on diff housings etc. Get belts right, get belt tensioner settings right (basically no tension on either front or rear in stock class)
3. There is no "right" answer. Some tracks are faster with foam, others with rubber. Some clubs allow foam, others only allow rubber. At Beaudesert rubber is faster. At logan probably foam. At bayside rubber, at hobbystation, probably foam. Some race series in SEQ have rules about what tyres you can use.
4. not sure, someone else can answer
5. by far the best thing for you to do is to practice. changing all this stuff on your car will not make the slightest difference if your driving is inconsistent. spend all your $$ on getting to the track to practice, practice, practice. Practice on any track you can get too. Don't change too many things and don't listen to too many people. Put a fairly standard setup on your car and drive, drive, drive, drive. That's what you need to do more than anything.
