Jonmac,

I giggle myself, but I have to say these things - my wife reads my e-mail <G>
. But, in all honesty, I have to say I won't be driving faster than I do now. 
Speed limits are still speed limits, and traffic fines still add points to 
your insurance premiums. Even with the blood pooled in the back of my head 
from the acceleration, common sense will still prevail, and put a damper on 
my enthusiasm for speed. There is no question, though, that I will get to 
these speeds a lot quicker than I do now. 

As for an insurance inspection, I think there definitely should be one, 
albeit by someone qualified to make an evaluation. I have seen some pretty 
scary workmanship on some conversions in the past.
