Can't help you on these two wings, but the guys who helped out with aero for our PPIHC car, DHP Composites, had some downforce figures, though not sure if they were computer derived figures or from wind tunnel testing. I may be talking with David in the next couple of weeks about developing a multi-element tuneable wing for next year.

I'll see if I can find anything on the APR wing, I saw something not too long ago.

Main thing is you need to get the wing height perfect and also the angle of attack. Wind tunnel tests are great you just need to make sure you can reproduce the exact settings used.
