I've come up with a solution that may be the optimum for ecomodding.
--> Front air dam to move the air around the car
--> Underbody that slopes upward for the airfoil shape in the back
--> Kammback extension to match the airfoil shape from the underbody
Front air dam plus side air dams? Front dam ahead of the bumper vs between the front wheels? Curved vs straight?

How would you match the K-back to the diffuser?

--> Nowadays, I am studying the effects of placing exhaust above the diffuser on my team's car, trying to pull air under the car to get the diffuser to 'up to speed' faster, since underbodies can become effective at as low as 20 mph under normal conditions
I'm still trying to picture this.
