I've got some ideas. Just looking for perspective.
I'd guess that the camber will cause some scrubbing, giving a slightly slower top end, but probably not enough to notice. If the tires bulge (larger circumference at the center of the tread than at the edge), then the difference will be greater.

Okay, that's my 2 cents. Now let's hear those ideas!
