Front splitter/airdam question.

If the car was set up like this, what are the advantages or disadvantages?

-Note that there is air going through the stock front valance (Blue lines).
-Notice also that I have added a front wind splitter (gray line directly below the valance) The air can now be directed below the car away from the sump.

Should I cover up the valance's inlets so it can benefit the front splitter? Or is the valance fine the way it is? I obviously aim to have this front splitter become functional. I just don't want to do more harm than good when I add a front splitter. Pro's, I'd gladly appreciate if you guys would chime in and help a fellow to-be-engineer out.

Cheers,

Jamezzy

Thanks for replying. Hmm, the title is misleading lol. Sorry about that, I'm talking about the front splitter. No airdams here. I've no idea why I typed that in.

Did you do anything to the underside to help with the airflow?
