    Wind resistance is kinda hard to determine, its not like these guys are renting a wind tunnel at Lockheed Martin and making changes. But stuff like stretch is mentioning like the aluminum under covers, the bumpers with holes in them are proven to work on most setups.

    My point was at that power level its not about 5-10 more WHP , its probably more about chassis setup and gearing.

    This is true but wind resistance at those speeds with that aluminum under cover stretch spoke about does tie in alot at those speeds at that range which is on your list of chassis and gearing so from that aspect the under cover is more helpful for them than the extra 13whp. I gave stretch those examples because he reffered to the whp diff in the vid vs what the car actually made and hence why i gave my example in the mph term only just for him
