I've been hard at work lately, seeing some much better numbers, just want to gather some hard evidence.

I guess my biggest upgrade has to be my wheel covers. $200, should be pretty quick to see an roi. The next cheapest option is 400+ and made of plastic.

On my third or fourth version of front tire spats? Maybe they're more of a tire dam. I utilize factory fasteners to mount things so without a super complex bracket, I've come up with a curved piece that seems to work best and doesn't look as out of place as the shark tooth 1.0 version.

So the skirts are about two weeks old and between all my mods, driving a lot more at 60-62 vs 65 and doing a lot more coasting, I seem to be up into the 11s with an empty trailer. This used to only be attainable with no trailer.

I will update next week or two once I have some more data
