Default Aerodynamics Help

If there are any aerodynamics specialists in the room, please stand up !

I'm in the process of installing a new rear race aero wing that is fully adjustable and having a custom mounting plate built to attach it where the old OEM wing is.

This wing is capable of producing 600 lbs of down force at 110 MPH depending on how the forward section and rear section are adjusted in relative terms to the airflow over the car.

If there are any aerodynamicists in the room, can you give me a simple equation that will allow me to adjust the wing at intervals (lbs of downforce) based on the speed of the car, size of the wing area and angle of the wing ?
