A critical point to remember: try to round the "shoulders" - the side/top transition - on the kammback as much as possible. Sharp edges promote vortex formation; generous radii less so. You don't to be dragging a honking pair of vortices behind the car.

My kardboard kammback's transition was too sharp.
