Wouldn't you need clean attached air flowing over that inset?
I believe those Strake boards are going to detach the air

by inducing vortex turbulence off each Strake stick.
Thus, not allowing the Frame Extension vortexs to be created.

I would skip the Strakes.. Plus they are going to add some drag..
