i have already added rear wheel skirts and have tried

blocking what grille there is but if i block more than a little bit it overheats.
i am running max sidewall pressure +1 for 45 psi. I also drive at 50 mph including on interstate. i am going to add a lower air dam and belly pan. i would like do do without the p/s anyway. my biggest problem is that it is run with my 1 serpentine belt. I don't think there is an alternate routing because of the way the pulleys are set up. maybe i could just pull the hoses, p/s computer, magnetic sensor coils, control valve, wires, drain the fluid and let the pump run empty?

Turns out i was right about fighting the pump/valves, i cant even turn the wheel going 50 with the car off.....THE STUPID VALVES CLOSE when the pump stops turning and the engine turns off.....IT NEEDS TO GO ASAP!!!!
