As far as improving the efficiency other than engine mods, I will explore that rout as soon as I hit the goal of 50 MPH.

At this point I cannot make any changes to the formula like external body mods because it would skew the results.

The car dose have the rear wiper delete and is running 40 psi in the tires. I have been monitoring under hood temperatures during this whole process and it looks like I can block part of the grill. This car was originally equipped with underbody panels but they were removed. I still have them and they will go back on.
