Can they call it free horsepower when they had to ship the car to England (and back)?

We began by dropping the front 111/42 inches from our baseline and that resulted in a staggering 10hp increase in drag and an increase in front lift of 42 pounds... Consequently, we put the front back to baseline and lowered the rear of the car 11/42 inch.
I'm available as an editor.

Do you think lowering the parachute attachment point would help the front-end lift. I know tractors pulling a plow do so. This one appeared to be attached directly to the differential.
