Dan, He is HP limited. The only way for him to get some speed is to let the aero help him. I think their is some gains to be had in the shape of the nose and under body. It is a lot faster to test the theory on the computer before building the molds.
If you have some time I will send you the program and the gauge to take the points.
I just don't want to do it. I did my '32 and it was not fun.
