Accurate results

Also I have refrained from some simpler mods. Moonies , finder, skirts, and not so simple mods ,belie pan, side skirts ,bumper rellocation/redesine entire front end to be more like a vw bug instead of a stack of bricks ,air dam, hood angle, rain gutter delete ect Ect ...
Why most would ask ?
Disbelief. I was expecting a 10-15% improvement and surprised myself with 20%+,haveing stumbled across some thing that would need better proof than simple manipulateable MPG
so what test will be expected as un irrefutable proof and not a gusstament 100%macanical diesel no computer or OBD 2
One major differentance that may have yealded the above average results is the8" past the tailgate. A cap crossed with a camback. A design aspect not seen on other caps . This is affecting the trailing air as well, not just top/sides. This feature I've noticed being implemented on '14 and up full size pick up trucks accrost the top of the tailgate. Also on mini vans, and cars .
