hot dam! it is so nice to see somebody doing instead of just talking.
continuing those ridges until they converged like4 the study you cited would have likely done more for you since it doesnt look like you have any kamm effect going on there. are you planning a cone for the front as well?

what is your tow vehicle, does it have a wing on it or a cap or ...?
what is the total loaded weight?
acellerating rigs like this from a dead stop is what really soaks.
i carefully listen to the engine, if it has a torque converter. your truck will only acellerate so fast any extra pedal and your fuel will flush out the back!
