Hucho says not to do it,then Don Bur does it and claims an overall drag reduction.
If we take Don Bur's claim at face value,then it suggests that the benefit of the body camber far out shadows the penalty of the added frontal area.
Until another player publishes results of like technology we don't have a lot to decide by.
