Well, I haven't noticed any difference. However, maybe the small HP increase (if that's even real), overcomes any underbody drag.

As far as "lift", I wouldn't notice. You see, I got this rear tail thing/spoiler, that the salesman told me would keep the rear end planted up to 195 MPH ....

Maybe aero drag/tail lifting may come into play at speeds over 130 mph ....

Oh, just "do it", Evil Jesus, life is too short to drive a sports car that doesn't sound like a sports car....
