Like trying to throw an apartment complex down track
I wonder how much difference taping a piece of abs, or 1/4 of a pool noodle, up there would do? If you can take up some of that space, its way at the top of the site line, so it wouldn't interfere with vision. Anyone got a wind tunnel? lol

Either case, I face the same challenges. I'm not an all out race truck, but even when your happy in the low 12's-high 10's, that aero starts to hit you hard. I can't get myself to go all-out on lightening, caging etc, because the aero is one thing that is largely unchangeable.
