My question is on the sides I was wondering what the optimum angle should be for a boat-tail?

Everything I've read (not much, admittedly) on vehicle aero suggests that
top and sides be 10-13*, I believe.
Bottom, I haven't found any specific references or data other than that which can be found openly on here, but I see that 2-4* seems to be a playfully tossed about number.
EDIT: If you check out Phil's T100(?), you'll notice the aerocap looks as if he cut the rear window from a Stingray and brought it out to it's logical conclusion on top of a tonneau cover.
