I could see it going either way.

I have a 4.312 final drive that gets me 3000 rpm at 60 MPH. If I put a boat tail on the car, it wouldn't net much without other tweaks. I'm thinking that hot air intake may be needed to help light throttle running. I can't bump start properly due to poor fine motor skills, all the P&G I get is with the engine on while doing hills. I go up a 7% grade and down a 5 % grade, up and down a pair of 5% grades, and then up and down another pairs of 5% grades on my drive to class. The 7% grade has me getting at best 18 MPG to hold my speed so I need the heat dissipation there, but then going down the grades I have the temp gauge drop like a rock. With a grill block to handle the Engine on Coasting, I can't handle the uphill parts.
