People here are so lost in the world of templates that they seem to have forgotten reality!
I am sorry you don't have the time to do some testing, because it means your results will almost always be poorer than they could be.
Me? I have this strange belief that in car modification (any car modification), guesswork isn't as good as finding out what actually works.

I believe the template is based on information garnered from car aerodynamics books. And, again, you're putting more into the template than what was intended.
