It does yes! First hand experience. Even with the front splitter the car had a bit of high speed understeer. Tried everything from shock settings, height etc and in the end the vents made a difference.

When I went from no splitter to a front splitter the diff was marginal at best but I am running an APR 3D wing. In your case I’d recommend Sard type rear wing and the hood vents as my wing pins the rear down too much. This is the exact setup Edgar Morales ran previously at Summit Point and clocked a 1:22.5 at Summit. He has the video on the fastest thread.
