Default wheel alignment, front toe-out causes understeer

I had a wheel alignment yesterday and all they touched was the front camber a bit more negative (from 0 to 0 20') and they inversed the total toe from -1.3 to 1.1mm (from toe-in toe-out). And my car got such an understeer and I got a headache... The guy doing this told me this would only increase the front grip so I agreed. Know it is harder to drift at full countersteer, at the end of power over I get such an understeer it is dangerous to hit something, and at grip driven corners at the limit, I get understeer (before alignment, I got four wheel slide out)...

I'm going back this week, has anyone any ideas what to do? I'm thinking of setting the toe-in to 1.5 (sth like that) and leaving the camber as it is...

Thanks for answers!

P.S.: Does anyone knows a site whit wheel alignments of drift cars?

Just get the OEM set-up on your alignment and everything should back to normal.
