I got the air dam, hood cowl and grille blocks done and then took the car out for some tests while it was still light. Note that I did NOT adjust tire pressure before this, I'm still at the 34psi I normally run. I'll be changing that to 38-40psi in the morning before I leave.
I'm going to pack the car now and then if I have time I'll knock out some simpler rear wheel spats... duct tape is a wonderful thing.
Coast down:
42.56 seconds from 60mph to 35mph.

2.68 seconds longer to coast down

Entry marker 55mph

Hill coast with mods as above in this post.
Entry marker 55mph
Mid point 63mph

Up 1mph at the mid point and 2mph at the exit. I also was rolling several mph faster when I hit the 35mph sign coming into my town that I normally hit right at 35mph while coasting.
