Willem Toet's article on diffusers is probably the best place to start learning about diffuser design.
Keep in mind, while many teams know how to design a "good" undertray, many are plauged by insufficient stiffness (both mounting and tray itself) and too low ride height to work effectively. A bumpy track can also play a significant role - consider, if your undertray is 0.5in above the ground, if the asphalt variations are not a significant % variation.
