It would be pretty difficult to test different angles, and probably not something I am going to do because this would require a lot of quality and work to do accurately. I am sure that there is a difference between a 10 degree slope and a 15 degree slope, but not enough to make testing worth it to me.

I will likely slope the spoiler by a conservative 10 degrees, and quantify the change through testing.
