Here you can see the relationship between drag reduction,and engine rpm (top speed for any given gearing).
*The streamlining allows engine over-speed and shortened engine life,as well as lower BSFC.
*To get the best mpg,the gearing is altered to get the engine back to it's original BSFC island,which maximizes mpg.



*If our estimates are within range at all,Aerostealth's F-150 might do 156-mph at standard atmosphere.
