Ok first round of numbers are in, and let me say I'm not saying the holes did it, but numbers don't lie. I will be repeating the test just not today. Ok I did two runs once with holes and one without. I used Duct tape to cover up the holes with multiple layers to unsure no wind got through. I took the same route and I went 60 mph for both tests. I neutral coasted on both off ramps and did 3k shifts when getting back up to 60mph.

Here is the start of the test notice the 0 in the trip gauge.


Here is after the first test 38.2 MPG with holes.


Start of 2nd test zero'd out.


Here is after the 2nd test at 37.6 MPG


ok now onto the performance gains I know its not as big of a deal I will be doing this test again also. I did not make it to 100mph like I wanted to only got up to 80 and then shifted to 5th getting back to 60mph quickly

run without holes


Run with holes gaining about .45 tenths of a second on speed and .3 tenths on 1/8 of a mile 1/4 I wouldn't count because I wasn't there by the time I hit 80.
