The wing will ruin the flow.Hucho would consider the factory nose already 'ideal.'
I would recommend that you put your effort into cleaning up the belly and rear wheel openings to guarantee quality flow to the boat tail.Then see if you can figure out how to get the 'final' diffuser angle as close to 2.8-degrees as you can.
If the bottom of the tail is steep,it will create high-drag,attached,counter-rotating longitudinal vortices below the tail; and probably enough turbulence to cause flutter.
