i make 176whp. had this type of big setup for a while now, sure it feels a bit sluggish in 1st and low end of 2nd but honestly once you get going its not really noticeable.
There is always a trade off, but i dont think it really takes that much away from the car, even with smaller tires it isn't exactly fast going straight.

What negatives are there for leaving it at stock alignment?

A lot of people run alignments for clearance reasons.
If you dont rub then leave it mild for tire wear purposes, however i do alignments to make the car drive better, turn in better, use all of the tire at auto-x or track.
I run -2 up front and -1.6 in the rear because its now on DD duty. It all depends on how much adjustability you have, you look stock, so at most you can mess with front camber since rear is nonadjustable factory. I would advise you to toe in the rear a bit for more stability.
otherwise, its all preference and is relative to your offset, suspension (strut clearance if springs) and what look you are going for.
