You might wanna fold your side mirrors in. That 1 sq ft of frontal area might make a difference. I know that controlled testing has shown a .000001 reduction in time from my runs. Subtracting that 1 sq ft from my total of 500 sq ft of frontal has made a huge difference in the ET's of my flying red brick. You know "brick" doesn't do it justice. the pyramids have stones the size of my truck

What is the actual curb weight of your truck anyway? Is is comparable to the escalade ext (approx 6000 lbs)?
