Message	at high speeds...the air flow difference (over/under) creates a vacuum that helps keep the car on the road. While you create less drag..you will increase air velocity under the car...requiring additional downforce from other means (like a rear wing and air splitters). Unless you own a wind tunnel...keep it simple.
