I don't have data, but I do think it helps. The car that consistently posts the best times has ridiculous spoilers (and a great driver too):

He tried various configurations and that works best. With speeds generally 35 to 60 mph, it appears that more extreme spoilers improve tire grip.
When Woody had this car he said that the biggest problem was getting the power to the ground. I may experiment with increasing the angle of attack more after I get a better feel for the car.
