More of that "entemodynamics" I have spoken of in the past. If the bugs don't stick it must be a good thing

I agree. I still think a flat spoiler would look cooler, or at least strange in a striking way, but I bet you get better results with your Kamm ideas.
I am kicking around a kamm with a big wing..... or two. fun fun!

From Jaray's,Lay's,Kamm/Fachsenfeld's,Hucho's,and Buchheim et al's research,it's the only thing which has a track history of performance.
Darin's Honda proved that it's not a 100% solution though.I suspect that there was drag reduction,but the engine didn't react favorably to the mods.
Chrysler and Dr. Gino Sovran warned about gear-matching requirements.Hope you don't hit a snag.
My TDI's fuel specifics are so much better than a gasser, and I will be adding a 6th gear eventually. I don't imagine that being an issue, ever, at any speed.
