Test it without the AC in place to see if your choice is able to help. If it picks up, then get the Xtreme top if you want power-if you're a lawn-chair guy, then forget I tried to help...
And I won't make that mistake again.
I said maybe wood, its phenolic. "This little tinker project was stupid to start with and what I told you was to prevent what you found out." Are you smoking crack? What did I find out, that it fit? What did you prevent? "Spacers either add 6HP or cost 6HP " Oh guru, tell me where you get this from. I have never seen a test where an engine lost power. I have seen tests that pick up as much as 28 hp. You are right not soup dujur. If you read my post, I joked about seat of the pants. Must have been more of that invisible ink. 6 HP from extreme top, maybe, ugly, definantly (sp), wouldn't use it if you gave me one.
