Stop being full of yourself, dude.

Up front, sure, I'd run more than two degrees to get good times (The Silvia runs 2.25 from memory) Anything more than that out back (Silvia's 1.25) and I'd see excessive and uneven tyre temperatures (cracking, delaminating), accelerated tyre wear and difficulty with grip (Not much point in having 200+mm of contact patch if there's only weight on 100mm of it).
Even up front you can use caster to reduce the amount of camber without reducing available grip (read; tread appication) in corners, to an extent, and that reduces roll off (and again, excessive tyre wear and uneven temperatures).
We talking serious, street, or sprints? Because sprints are all well and good, and those setups work for Sprint or AutoX, but I was talking street. Where more than 2 degrees is pretty much pointless except for looks. Unless you hate tyres, of course, which is fine.
Either way, I'm sure we can all agree demon camber -is- just for looks.
