3- I figured boosting aerodynamics as much as possible would probably help more... Are the mods needed to do this sort of thing affordable? Or does the cost involved in doing such mods negate any net-savings achieved by the mods? Without a wind tunnel and some engineers that going to be a hard task.
Not trying to resurrect dead horse topics here, but these sort of things were what I was throwing around my head yesterday.
