1.3 degrees left and 1.7 degrees right = caster is not that bad, generally you want less caster on the left side to compensate for the crown of the road and no more than .5 of a degree difference on the left vs right......what side does it pull/ drift too????? try swapping the left side tire with the right side tire...see what happens

lol, dude, there isnt crap WE can do for you.... you need to learn how to read the alignment charts, and see what THEY are doing wrong.
OR....

lol, dude i know that, but i thought this forum was for troubleshooting and helping eachother out. You asked for the specs and there they are, all you say is the toe is out of spec? Idk what i can do about that, thats why i asked you guys who know more. Im just going to go ahead and take it to a front end shop and let them see if they can figure out wtf going on. Does anyone have any advice about the rough idling at low speeds?

how so???? -.18 on the left and -.06 right, the difference = .012, half that by turning the wheel a tad to the left while still hooked up to the heads and you'd pull the left down to -.012 and the right would equal out at -.012, they may of not had the wheel completely centered when doing the print out...who knows...only speculation....If I were the op based on caster it shouldn't pull, I'd seriously try swapping the tires on the front side to side = free test
