Love their site. I wouldn't post it on there until it was SHINY anyway, or had over 300 hp( this one never will). Although, if I took it to Boneville and ran it, that might make it OK.

Mike- Definitely raised it a bunch. Over 3 inches in some places. Probably not enough, but it is a lot more rigid and will be more likely to survive the winter better.

I didn't get to use my "calibrated hill" on the way home, but the wind noise was a lot less. I'll be filling up today or tomorrow to check how Version 1.0 did.

Edit: Tank for v1.0= 607.6 miles, 10.6 US gallons, 57.3mpg
