Between 1/16" and 1/8" of toe-in, 0 deg. camber, and as much positive caster as you can get, up to 8 degrees positive

Thanks TRZ! I am familiar with all the specs except caster. Is there any way to add caster without changing the upper arms? Can you use the shims on the upper arm to accomplish this?
 
I have a local racer align my stuff.

He runs low 8z in the 1/4 on a stock suspension car so I defer to him.

He jacks the front of the car about an inch and you have to sit in the car while he aligns it.

Also wants the car"as raced", besides the driver being in it, fueled, tire pressure etc etc.
