Alignment advice for last few track days

So I have worn the outer tires ( due to no having proper track alignment ), made a mild adjustment to a moderate camber don't know the numbers off hand. Im doing AMP Sat and One other in NOV thought maybe a more aggressive alignment would be better to get the mid and inner tires? what do you guys think... Prob not gonna rush out and replace tires until these are toast def have some more mid and inner grip left

You’re wearing the outside shoulder and asking if a more agressive alignment will help even out the wear? Yes.

are you guys having the dealership do the alignment? or would it be better to have a shop that specializes in that?

I would go to a shop that specializes in alignments as the dealership will usually just make sure it's within factory specs. Techs get paid flat rate, and will spend as little time as possible on each vehicle.
They are paid on volume, not quality.

Unless you have a good dealership that is willing to pay the tech extra to tweak everything to the specs you want.

Ask for a print out too.

I would max out both front and rear camber than max out the rear toe in. You may or may not add some toe out up front but I would also get rid of the toe in up front to help turn in

Not sure I understand what you're saying, but I would leave the toe as close to dead nuts 0.0 degrees as you can get it. Front and rear. Toe Camber is the only adjustment needed unless you are trying to lay down ten tenths lap times.

I run -2.6F and -1.6R camber
F toe out 0.5 each side
R toe in ditto or 1.0 each side for more stability

EDIT: the above are completely wrong. See my post below. Thx to MJK for the spot

I was gonna say, 1" of front toe and 2" of rear toe would be undrivable and tires would last abut 10 miles
