I also haven't even finished with the second tank, so who knows what it really is at. Qualitatively speaking, the truck feels less encumbered and seems to track more solidly at freeway speeds, so I am pretty sure there is a positive (or negative depending on how you look at it) aero effect.
Your shell should reduce rear axle lift significantly,and she should ride as though she's got hundreds of pounds of load back there,improving your effective front/rear weight distribution.
At 114-mph mine feels like my CRX running on cork.
