It is a shame you can't help me build anything better then a stock 1994 suburban.
I'll just have to stumble along without all the required engineering research.

I can understand your impatience to get started, but your building effort will be long, and expensive. Why not try to understand the aerodynamic principles first. Mistakes will be expensive and time consuming to correct. Phil has put an engineering lifetime into trying to understand the principles.
Probably the best way to get a very quick education is to get your hands on a copy of Hucho's book. Most of the main principles, as they apply to cars, are discussed in just a couple of chapters of his book, complete with graphs. He has lots of equations, but you can get most of the information by just looking at his graphs. A required read, as a minimum, before you spend money or effort.
