Rear Wing

I am looking for anyone that has experience with using a rear wing on a drag car.

I have am 85 T-bird drag car.  Is there any advantage to running a rear wing?  They are really popular on the Fox Mustangs.  If so, what styles work / don't work?

If you're running 10's, skip it. If your down nosing at 8's it will probably be helpful.

low 9's, maybe high 8's.  I tapped the 9's with my old motor and I am now putting a "different" one in and expect it to be a bit faster.  My top mph was 135 with the old, but again, I expect to be faster.  I was looking for someone that might have compared a before and after with a wing.  Maybe someone that can tell me if one design works better than another. (or doesn't work at all).
