more like this
I did a crude version of Scagglione's (Ferrari Spa) wheelhouse departure radii on the truck.It forces the extracted air to exit more parallel to the body sides.No A-B-A testing.Figured it couldn't hurt.I'm seeing close to 40-mpg on a good day @ 60 mph without the headlight covers,bellypan,and boat tail.
