There might be some stuff on the web but there's nothing like looking the beast in the face.
The distance ahead of the radiator is a big issue,as is air-tightness.The thing won't work without the airdam and they ride very low to the ground.
Four-season driveability could be an issue.I've never 'lived' with one of these,don't know.
They cut the Firebird's Cd by 0.011 so it's something worth looking into,no pun intended.

My boss at work has a Camaro with this system. There's a wide thin radiator air inlet just ahead of the airdam and the radiator air is exhausted behind the airdam. It uses the high pressure ahead of the airdam combined with the low pressure behind the airdam to drive air through the radiator. He mentioned a friend with a Camaro who over ran a parking curb when parking at a store, breaking off the airdam, and then it started overheating when he drove it home afterwards. So the airdam is critical for the proper functioning of the cooling system.
