I'd try pretty close to a GT3 type set up, I run(with the graphite shock towers)white springs/50 wt/2 hole piston in the front, blue springs/30 wt/2 hole piston in the rear, about -1 deg. camber all around, 5.5mm ride height all around, and try to achive .5 to 1 deg. toe in the rear. If you have the plastic shock towers, go down 1 step on the springs(blue/yellow). You're also going to need to space the front wheels out about 2mm each side to clear the steering hubs. Just a guess anyway, it should get you pretty close.

p.s.-If you run a Camaro, you're pretty much going to beat a lot of Mustangs and Cudas no matter what.
