front wheel tilt on banshee

by "tilting the front wheels", I assume you are referring to toe-in. It involves adjusting both tie rod ends to precisely the same lengths, by measuring the current distance between the wheels on flat level ground with the bars straight ahead. As a Warrior rider I don't know what the specs are for Banshee.. you'd have to get a shop manual for your bike for them, however, I would strongly recommend that you stick with factory adjustment of the front end alignment.
Radical toe-in can result in radical, unstable handling and very rapid tire wear just to mention a few problems. Increased toe-in is used primarily by flat track and sometimes by TT racers who are expert or even pro riders to change the characteristics of their machines.
In other words, if you're not a pro, don't fix it, it aint broke!

The major advantage to negative camber(with a short arm/long arm) is less "scrub" as the suspension compacts (push down on your front bumper and you'll notice that your front end starts narrow at full extension, gets wider at mid-travel, and gets narrow again when completely compacted. What the tires are doing is called "scrub"). If you ride in sand/loose dirt, you'll never notice it. The pros get a more predictable suspension that doesn't scrub and bind. Although when I get enough money, I'll buy one too!
