Kevin, 
I've had the speed kit installed on my trigear for almost 2 years now, and flew
it for 1 year without the speed kit.  It is definitely worth the modest 
investment
of money and time.  I'd guess that I picked up about 7 to 10 knots in cruise.

If you want more speed, seal up the gap between the fuselage and the wing root
fairing.  I used white "bathroom" silicon caulk.  This gave me another 3 to 4
knots.
