ok, not so much angle of attack but having it angled 'up' will generate lift. Angled downwill drag.
I'd say flat as a pancake it the target for the leading edge
Angled up won't necessarily create lift. The pressure difference will still be in favour of downforce, plus if he has a flat floor, encouraging underbody flow may actually provide some gains in downforce. Its witchcraft this aero lark.
I'd agree that keeping it flat is the best way to go though
Was actually reading about this earlier when i first saw this thread, as dev says the aim is to get the splitter as level as possible. Oh and make sure its sealed to the current splitter so no air can get through as this'll lessen its effect.
So you gonna do a ful flat floor chris?

Cool, so you going to seal the engine bay completely or just extend the splitter back to front of the wishbones?
