Front thrust angle is -.10 and rear is -.01.

how much should my toe be? and my camber, is it normal to be this much without a camber kit?

3 degrees of negative camber? I don't even think people would even run those numbers on a twisty road track.

do you think they'll be able to reduce the camber a bit without the camber kit?

They don't. MOst of us track guys run -1.8 or -2.0 due to the amount of increased camber are car has under load.
