Thanks Basjoos. Looks like you increased top angle as you got farther back. The final angle looks to be approximately 25%. That is valuable information in that your boattail can be short enough to be practical for street use!

Theory is nice, and I think we all want to adhere as much as possible, but you gotta be able to drive the thing ;-)
