It may not be a loss,to not go to the Salt.I'm of the opinion that we just don't have the power-to-weight ratio to learn what we need from Bonneville.
I calculate that I'd need 264-bhp (sea level) to have a chance at 130 mph in the mile.Toyota has some engines which would do this,but if I were going to go to the trouble to do an engine swap,I'd be looking at the 150 Club and beyond.
If you have a good baseline,I think we'll be able to figure your new Cd from your MPG data.
I'm gonna try for the A2 Wind Tunnel in late August/early September and see what their load cells say.
From my mileage data I'm estimating the T-100 to be at Cd 0.208 at standard air density with 30" of boat tail.With the Viking trailer I estimate Cd 0.151.
I think your Rabbit is really low!
