Yup what he said :biggthumpxaos said:There have been a lot of tests done on wind resistance and tailgates. There is ALOT less drag on your car with the tailgate on and up. The reason for this is a bubble forms which allows air to flow over, this is why bed covers only gain AT MOST 1-2mpg depending on weight. No tailgate causes the wind to swirl like crazy and create drag.

You did what??JagerHead27 said:3. Go to the bone-yard and look for aftermarket hood scoops. I found one on an 80's fox body mustang and snagged it for $10! Then cut the hole in your hood to allow fresh air directly into your engine, thats a-lot cheaper than a "cold-air" kit.
Ya....you cut a scoop off an old car and then glued it on your truck and cut the hole out?darwinbohnke said:i think that he was talking about the hole you cut.
Ah! that's better then.....when you explained it the first time I had horrible images in my head :jester: :jester:JagerHead27 said:Actually its a bolt-on scoop, I am going to fiberglass the scoop somewhat to make it look not look like a bolt-on and I am working on making a box to seal my engine to the hood :banana2:
Got pics?
