I'll throw my thoughts in... My last race car (a *cough* HQ) we used to run as much toe-out as possible with the setup we had. Will cause more tyre wear and less stability at speed but better cornering.

I would have thought you'd get more grip/better turn in with the toe in, because the more loaded (outside) tyre already has a slip angle at the beginning of the corner? (at the expense of the inside tyre) Interested to hear your thoughts, Andrew > Andrew...... Sounds excessive to me.
