pro stock wing on nova's

Im looking for ideas to build a wing for my nova. Im really having troubles figureing out the contures of the rear deck and would love to see pics if some one has them. I have access to sheet metal tools and dont want to spend the money for an Ed Quay wing. Thanks Jason

Thank you
What i was really getting is thats moving for a big car on pump gas, at least from my perspective. Im thinking of putting a 200 hp tune up on for the last race in two weeks just for fun, but Im not sure it will do any good since Im still spinning the tires at half track.
