Since the raison d'etre of NACA ducts is to minimize disturbances in the air flow, my guess is that they won't make much difference. But "minimize" is a rather vague term, so maybe they will make a difference at track speeds. Guessing again, if they do make a difference, it seems the added resistance at the sloped front surface would create some down force. But I'm no aerodynamics engineer. I'm just here to see if my guesses are right.
