Back in the early 70's when our Z-28 stocker was running high 11's we tried it with out the front spoiler and the back spoiler in place lost ET and MPH, can't remember the numbers, but with the rear spoiler off and the front spoiler on there was a + 2 MPH and about a nickel quicker ET. NHRA made us put the rear spoiler back on. What really helped was putting 6 cylinder Camaro front suspension and drum brakes on it. Hid the weight we saved in the back and the 7" tires liked it.
