I went through the same dilemma a while back and ultimately settled on running my track setup (-3 camber, 0 toe) on the street. Most of the tire wear comes from toe. How did you determine you need 3.5 on track? That is quite a bit of camber. If it is your first time out in the mustang, I would recommend to start out with 2.5 camber and check tire temps with a proper tire pyrometer right after your session. The temps across the tire will tell you if you need more camber or not.
Changing camber causes too much toe change to be within reasonable specs for both street and track in my opinion. There will be a compromise one way or the other and there is no guarantee toe will be exactly where it was before when changing back and forth between camber settings. The only way to be certain toe is exact is by doing an alignment every time camber is changed and that is resource intensive (whether you do it yourself or pay someone). Been there done that, gets old after a while if you are a frequent track rat.
