Should the be horizontal, or pointing down slightly?

I'm asking because I installed a bumpsteer kit and I angled the tie rods down a little bit, and when driving, I can feel the car follow the road on it's own, and I can feel it in the steering wheel...

Yesterday I had the front end jacked up, I walked away to get tools and looked back at the car, and noticed that the front wheels were pointing in...So I guess I put the tierods down too much...I also didn't get any insturctions with the bumpsteer kit.

Any thoughts?

Horizontal with relation to the rack. From the front it should look like one happy little straight line all the way across
