I can get this data for you this weekend most likely. I have moved the wing around a little in the x and z direction (down the length of the car is x and vertical is z) to maximize the performance. What I usually analyze for setups includes:

1. Coefficient of lift
2. Coefficient of drag
3. L/D aka efficiency
4. Downforce @ XXXmph
5. Drag @ XXXmph
6. Aerodynamic balance
7. Horsepower required @ XXXmph

If anybody wants something else added to this, let me know.

Cheers,
Paul
