More toe-in makes the car more stable, up to a point.
Tow out makes the car much 'dartier'.

Due to compliance in the bushes, virtually every car tends to toe-out under brakes.
For the same reason, FWDs tend to toe-in under acceleration.

So, most people run moderate amounts of toe-in on RWD rally cars. Look at a few mm as a starting point, but don't be afraid to experiment.
