That's what I am looking for, I need to know how I should use the data.

I don't know that you could interpret whatever data you've collected without that unless you know of another car with EXACTLY the same set up (and then there's track conditions and driver inputs to consider), but different settings dialed in. You'd have to see what direct effect a given change made.

As far as general advice, besides my link there's a few other really great ones on here regarding the typical effects of more or less camber, caster, and so forth.
