My mechanic's Camaro has the cowl induction hood.

This is similar to what aerohead did with his T-100 that he ran at Bonneville.

If a smooth and complete underbody tray with rear diffusers is not too complicated and expensive to have done
Here's the one I like:



The outer fences run from just inside the rear wheel and tire and curve outward to the outer edge of the rear tire. With a flat roof, you still have a diverging duct. Here are some others. Bombshell Betty of course:



Straight fences. Then there was Lucra (they were burning lucre):



I asked him about that difusser and he said it had been proven out in a wind tunnel. It has four fences but appears to have winglets or something connecting them.

edit;
Then there is this; the first difusser that really impressed me:



That's a lot of fences, but it's on a mid-rear car. They do diverge though.
