Difusser flow separation and AoA

Post

If diffuser has to big AoA and flow separate, does pressure under car rise?
Is it possible that we have lower pressure under car when airflow at diffuser is separated compare to when is attached?

What is max AoA for flat floor with curve diffuser configuration?
