Does anyone have any experience with King Pin Inclination angles for front steering?

My research suggests the King Pins on the Alpha P2 where around 9 degrees in camber (top of pin towards the car) and 8 degrees in caster (Top of pin to the rear).

While this might have given the original car good stability at speed, I am a bit concerned that these angles are excessive (especially since some cyclekarts are built 0,0) and while it may be stable it might not be real nimble and make it less fun in that respect.

Anyone built a setup they are happy with?
