Actually, I would think that camber changes shouldn't much affect drag, but toe changes would absolutely change drag. Tires pointed straight ahead, no drag, tires canted to the direction of travel (toe in or out) then you've got drag, heat, and shorter tire life. If anything, camber puts the tire on edge so less drag (like a more narrow tire).
