You really should put it on an alignment machine and check. By moving one cam bolt you have changed the camber as well. If you had moved one bolt in and the other bolt out the same amount you would have changed the caster and kept the camber the same.

I would suggest checking it to see where it's at. If you need to make an adjustment just keep the caster at the current settings.

And you are welcome, glad to help.

So, impacting the toe isn't the issue, but impacting the camber is. I see what you mean.

I can mark the rear cam bolt location, move the front one back out a bit and then bring the rear out a bit. It may not be perfect, but I can trial and error it enough to get it to go down the road straight like it does now. Then I'll drive it awhile and see if I want to put it back on the rack.

Wheel alignment has always been one of those things that I had no real grasp of the details. Through this process, I have not only gotten the Cuda to go down the road straight, but I have learned a lot about camber and caster and what they do.
