Mornin' everybody. Since we're building these RVs to go fast, I'd appreciate info on some easy speed mods. I've been told that guys have faired the lower motor mount tubes to avoid turbulence there and also cut off the exhausts to be more or less flush with the bottom cowl. Others have added a radius to the lower firewall area (like the RV8) to smooth airflow and reduce drag.
Is there a source for some of these speed mods with documentation on what is really gained?
