Sorry, I didn't catch this before I passed out in the chair... been a long day.

Anyway, I gave him the idea that he could see "up to 10% or so" increase at highway speed.

I'm sure it's a bit optimistic, but at least it'll be tested at that point. I don't think he'll let me do rear skirts or anything to that effect, because Granny is basically a beater car... he doesn't want her all modded up. Or, if I can show him that she's better off with those parts, maybe he'll change his mind... never know!
