You welcome. Yes, I have the 100hp. I have to say I installed the speed kit and
Im happy I did. Its not a wow increase in speed but at this level a little 
improvement
feels really good. Maybe 3-4 knots. 

The biggest jump was with the Duc prop (from a Woodcomp that provided dismal 
performance
except on crazy short takeoff rolls). Cant imagine what this plane would
do with CS. 

I did have a question for you. I do have a wheel fairing kit for the mono but 
dont
know if the extra weight is worth the install. I have read that the shell
is behind a turbulent area due to the cooling duct exhaust so the speed gain is
nill. What do you or the group think?  I think it would be worth the try because
of the sealing of the tunnel but its installation sure will add some weight
and complicate the airplane a little (which I try not to do). But I am curious.
