At
7,000 - 7,500 feet my 1955 C180 with the original 0-470-J 225 HP engine went from
128 to 143-145 kts TAS with the addition of the Snider Speed Kit and wheel pants. I really
notice how fast and how much speed it picks up on descent. It removes drag tremendously.
At
a recent 180/185 meet my 180 won the 0-470 class race by a good margin and matched some of
the 520 and 550 engine class airplanes. I believe you will get more knots per
dollar than any other mod that I know of or have tried.
