Looks like a pretty good start. The migration numbers, and bump steer look really nice. The camber gain, although not "the" most important aspect, looks a bit modest at .5 degrees/inch, you might try to shorten the upper arms a smidge, or better, lengthen the lowers and see if you can bump this up just a little. It's not bad, especially if the rest of the stuff is good.
These numbers are a start, but there is a whole lot more to it. What about scrub radius, FVSA, and side-scrub numbers? Track width? I ask because I see that the rack chosen is a standard production rack, in order to get the steering numbers (i.e. bump steer) looking as good as they do, the control arm pivots MUST have been located according to the rack/ackerman/inner tie rod location requirements. Do you have the inner tie rod mounting width handy for the Cobra rack? Seems to be a very popular piece used on many of the vette equipped front units.
Looks like you are on the right track, for track days, you'll likely have to dial in a good amount of negative static camber, but probably not more than -2 degrees or so, give or take. More than this might cause squirrely front tramp under really heavy brakes, probably not too much an issue though. Have fun with it!
