I'm just wondering aerodynamically if it would be optimal to 'profile match' the cab so to speak
The curve would be preferred as far as the air is concerned.You could 'do' a flat to begin with and then later glom onto it with something more exotic as time permits.
As to the difference in possible performance,we may not have a large enough database yet with which to say.It would be kind a like a notchback vs fastback,but over just 12-inches of span,maybe not a big deal.
