Yeah and IIRC they came to the conclusion that the best option was the tailgate net. It still created the negative air bubble in the bed but lost the weight of the tailgate. The faster moving air flowing over the cab cant clear the gate without that air bubble and basically its all turned into downforce on the gate when its down. Those nets look like poop though IMO.
I thnk they also proved its better to have the air on rather then the windows down at highway speeds.

4.8 in my o3 hoe and I got around 21 last week ,but i got on it a bunch of times. Right lane, 65-70mph, and chillin behind 18wheelers on 295. No tune or CAI but i really want to do the fan swap. need to find a good writeup.
