The research says they work, but the available research is more than 20 years old. How relevant is it to today's cars with their much more thought about underfloors?

Excellent work Aveomiller...seems bigger is better...

I'm contemplating a small air dam tucked in a bit from the leading edge and angled slightly. I'll mount it to the small CF underfloor infill I put in last night.
