Does lowering a car and adding a wing really help with optaining a higher speed? With the air having little space to go underneath the car and forcing it to go over and catch the wing it creates a push? I dont know really this is what I think.

It doesn't necessarily help with the speed, but the handling if you have the right suspention set up will help. You're lower to the ground, but with a stiff suspention kit that doesn't bounce a lot you will notice a huge difference.
Hope that helped you a little bit.Adam - Retired OG member from '03

For a front wheel drive car a wing isn't ever going to help out. It adds downforce to the backwheels and takes it away from the front wheels which is a bad thing. On top of that it adds more resistance which is just going to slow you down. This doesn't really take effect until highway speeds ~70 mph or so anyway. Lowering your car will make it perform better though. There is less room for turbelence under the car and the air will be forced through more quickly. Whether or not it's a big enough difference for you to notice I can't really say, but putting on a big ricer fin will most likely slow you down a decent amount.
