This was my first time running this configuration so I was braking WAAAAY too early off the main straights...but the rest speaks for itself.

So I ended up with lots of problems but when it ran it ran strong. At the end of the video I end up going off track and my wheel has about +1.5 degrees of camber. After I adjusted everything back to where it was (Slotted holes in struts and camber plates moved) I'm still out of wack by about -1.0 degree from the other side. I have NO IDEA what is bent/off. Any recommendations what to look for?

Wow...sick vid! Didn't see much of you though! What car was the vid taken from....it seemed to have a serious handling and braking advantage over you, but damn....when it came time to accelerate the old 4G63 laid it down....
 
No I had the advantage, just not the skill. First time at this track and didn't know the braking zones at all. Plus the guy filming was in a more advanced group that they had to combine that day for other logistics reasons. The car was a worked 300M on full slicks.
 
Check your subframe mounts for square by measuring crossways between the mounting points. If the car is still nice and square, you can use string lines or pencil marks on the floor to establish centerline and then check your wheel alignment and lateral wheel position from there to figure out what's wrong.
