My question is this; is that area normally a very high gain area or not?
In order to make the belly pan work, you'll have to close off that area, as it tends to act as a parachute.

The nose of the car is about 1.5 inches higher than the bottom of the pan under the engine.
An air dam down to the level you need to clear the lowest hanging part of the car is good.
Don't go lower than necessary though, as that adds to the frontal area of the car - and thus to the total drag.

Suspension arms are usually covered by moveable sections.
