Any -8 owners familiar with this wing root leading edge venturi? Purpose, functionality... does it actually work?

V/R,

Super secret makes the plane go faster and slower.. na… it cleans up the airflow from the main gear leg fairing that sometimes causes a burble over the elevator during a 3 point landing. I believe it’s called a strake or some call it a VG (Vortex generator)
