The taper resembles some of the human powered vehicle shells. First tuft test the shape you have with and without a rear deck wing. Dr. Joseph Katz has some good books that are less expensive than Hucho's grand book. My suggestion is to use a shape based on a 5:1 airfoil with a Kamm tail at 0.75 the length.
