How does camber affect Indycar Racing?

I've been playing Indycar Racing w/ Paul Page and I was wondering, what are the actual effects done to the handling and speed of the car when you change the toein/toeout/camber of the tires? Because I had a setup at MIS that gave me laps of 223mph and a friend of mine with a steadier hand a 226+ lap. I want to go for the lap record of 230.8mph. The current toe setup was the one that the ace used. I changed tire staggers and wings to the point of no return (.135" STAGGER,3.60 degrees on the rear wing, and 3.55 degrees on the front wing) on the ford cosworth powerplant in a lola 93 chassis. Any tips on how to change the camber or other ways of success in going for the record? Let me know if you have any ideas on this track so I can help deal with the others.

Iv'e gotten a 233 mph at Michigan with the ACE setup. You might want to try different chassis/engine combos. Hmmm.... There are alot of possibilies :) Also, make sure your tires do not squeal in the turns. Adjust your driving, or setup to accomplish this. And stay in the groove.

the only REAL way that camber would affect the speed is that if your tires are unbalanced, they will heat up faster (or at least the part on the ground) and will become uncontrollable more easily (optimum range is 250-300 deg.
