Unfortunately that's not possible
You cannot shave off 2 seconds from your 1/4 mile time by adding the lip.
A stock G does a quarter in about 13.8 sec. If adding a lip, will make it do a quarter in 11.8 sec, then sign me up. 11.8 quarter mile means faster acceleration than a Lambo Gallardo, F430 and such similar vehicles. If adding the lip would give these results, then no one would even bother to modify their engine. You probably mean 0.2 of a second, which who knows... might be possible.
As far as aero advantages... you probably won't feel it (or at least not below 130 mph).

Do you guys remember the early TV commercial of the G35? Infiniti used to claim reduction of drag coefficient with the Aero package installed. This page confirms that claim: Automobile drag coefficient - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There's a reduction of .01 drag in older models with the Aero Package.

This was actually the reason why I was asking this question. I don't expect to feel any difference. I just haven't seen any documentation about the new aeropackage making any measurable difference.

It's not a speedshattering aero kit, it simply makes it look different. There is a small benefit (1%) because the lip and spoiler create a zero lift body.
