Hey Chris,
A while back there was some posts on aerodynamics and the tailgate. I think
you'll find better times with the tailgate on and in the up position than
otherwise.

Subject: DML: G-Teching
Well I finally did a little more g-teching of the dak tonight. Here are
each of my 7 runs:
1. 15.98@91.3 mph
2. 15.57@83.4 mph I caught up with traffic and had to get off the gas. I
really ripped 2 gears on this run also.
3. 16.09@91.2 I launched a little easier this time, but obviously not hard
enough.
4. 16.36@90.8 3 gears of spin in about 5 truck lengths, took off good in
3rd though...
5. 15.64@93.7 sideways in first but only a little rubber in second, getting
there...
6. 15.66@87.8 again i caught up with traffic... launched in second gear to
reduce spin, slipped POS factory clutch a lot...
7. 15.40@94.44 I launched in second again to reduce spin, clutch is now
thouroughly baked, happy enough to cruise home...
The truck was run with 19psi in the rear tires cold, 21 after all the
runs. I took off some easy weight, lost the tailgate, tools and
bedliner. Need more weight in the bed for weight transfer.
Thought I'd share...
Chris
