Yes, putting more positive caster in will push the spindle out and give you more negative camber. From my experience, there isn't enough adjustment in the stock cams to give you any appreciable positive caster to make a lot of difference. In a good example, you may be able to get 1 degree positive, but I don't think that is enough of a gain to make it worth the hassle in the camber department. You could crutch the issue by getting the offset upper bushings to help out the camber, but you'd be better off by getting some adjustable upper arms. If you come up here for the alignment, I can bring you over to meet Dave!

If you move one bolt, you'll alter both the caster and camber, as well as toe. If the rear bolt cams are facing in, turning it out will give you more positive caster, positive camber and a toe out condition. Adjustments are best done on an alignment rack. If you want to experiment, make sure you mark your parts so you can put 'em back after.
