Default Autox setup vs track day

If you put a bigger front sway on our cars and an alignment, and other autox specific mods, are these compatible with road course driving?

Yes! Watch how much toe you run on the track. If you use a lot of toe for auto-x and then go to track you will toast your tires. I run max - camber and 0 toe most of the year. That way I can switch between Auto-x and track with no worries. If going to a national auto-x event you will need to add + & - toe adjustments to your alignment to be competitive.

Same, I keep a pretty neutral toe to increase tire life.

is more toe significantly harsher on tire life than more camber?

im running 0.33 inch toe and -2.5 degree camber now... and was planning to reduce the toe but increase camber to -3.0 degrees?

will this increase oversteer?

Yes it is, since toe (in or out) induces scrub.
