Default Balancing the aero

Has anyone actually found test results of changing the front and rear aero package. i.e. changing to the ZR1 splitter or the rear spoiler but not both.

I would think that the car is balanced from the factory and we can really screw up the aero by changing parts with no actual knowledge of how they affect the aerodynamics the car at speed.

For Example: I would seem changing the spoiler with no change to the front might cause some interesting handling characteristics at speeds over 150 mph.

There's quite a bit of info in the roadrace section on mounting aero for downforce and adjusting spring rates etc.
