Unfortunately I don't have any better data acquisition at the moment other than the MkI eyeball and tach vs. MPH reading. So initial look showed we're inching closer to 2600 RPM @ 68 mph. Before I started all this 68 was just below 2800 rpm. Now we're just above 2600 rpm. The tale will be the fill up. Though need to look into a ELM adapter for the OBD. Has anyone tried the Torque app for Android? Sounds like a Scanguage for $20 (about the cost of the ELM adapter, the app is free).
Very nice looking piece. I'm curious to see your results after a couple tanks. I tried something along the same lines, set back from the front of my truck about 6 inches, angled towards the sides... It ended up not helping FE (hindered actually) on a drive from Wichita Falls, TX to Spfld, IL, but that may be because my truck already has A=32 sq ft. I reverted to my original mod config, a splitter that sticks out 1.5", extends back and slopes down about 2" to my front suspension frame, then straight back...
But my handiwork wasn't nearly as clean as your is. Good job!
