On the coast down testing, the higher speed 70-50 mph runs should be accurate enough to tell if it's helping or hurting. If you have a GPS and a passenger with a stopwatch, you can eliminate some of the human error. Try to do it on a calm day, in both directions on the same stretch of road and A-B-A runs if possible.
As for the scraping, in my experience the corners of the airdam scrape the most. Hopefully the bumper skin is flexible enough to bounce back. I agree that you may want to try a partial belly pan in the future. Very clever flip/flop air dam.
