Yes, im not going to lie and say a random number below 26-28% but its not as good as a manual either which is like 16-18% so anywhere between those numbers i would have to guess.

hell if it is sitting right around 20-22% than thats still a 6% decrease in drag which equates (on a stock engine) to an added 14hp and with a built engine (say 400 hp to keep it even) thats an added 24hp... not a whole lot but it sure as hell doesn't hurt...

Be that definition, I've got my V6 to do a wheelstand.

Granted, it was the left side off the ground...
