I started with 0 deg and worked in from there. The buggy seemed to "track" too much with the surface imperfections with the 0 toe. I also run more toe-in than most in my other cars so its more of a driving style preference.

Always start with a similar pro setup as a baseline and pick the correct tires FIRST! The car should only need minor tweaks from most of the standard setups.
Not to be rude but running a white front spring and black rear tells me that setup is busted. Guessing also by how you have the 3.5 rear toe block and that spring combination that you're searching for rear grip???
There is just no way that that is the "optimal" setup for your track.
Where do race? Pics of the track? Description?
I didn't go through the whole history of where I got my baseline, but I did benchmark pro's setups, along with local setups, and have adjusted over a few nights of running. The tires were the first thing changed and everything came after that. That being said the only way to experience other tires is to try them, which is what I was doing here. Yes it would have been better if I tuned a different setup for each tire and I will most likely do that in the future. I was just going for quick experience and to see if I could feel a difference that would give me an idea of what I would need to change for each tire.
I'm not really searching for rear grip more just balance and feel to fit my driving style. Yes, I know that it may not be the "optimal" driving style but rather than learn a new driving style and car at the same time I am doing one then the other.
