Your first point is for the most part a myth. Tilting the tops of the coils inwards doesn't do much when the wheel is nearly parallel with the axis you're moving the coil.
Also, I don't think lifting the front of the car really helps rear traction, but I need to do a little more studying as to the dynamic weight transfer.
I know when static corner balancing a car, the more you raise one point on the car, the more weight is on THAT corner.

Care to explain why my first point is a myth? The running more camber will give you a flatter contact patch from the leading wheel? This is not a myth, it's simply truth,
Take an S-chassis, with stock caster let's say(6.7-6.8). if you run 2.5* of negative camber, you are going to see a lot of positive camber at full lock from the leading wheel(This is where the diagonal wheel shit I was talking about comes into play). If you run 6.5* negative camber up front, you have a flatter contact patch and are using more of the tire, because at full lock your leading wheel will have hardly any positive camber.
