The speedkit is probably worth 10kts.  A REALLY good surface finish and polish
is worth 5kts.  Diving gently into a cruise by progressively applying down trim
is also worth a few kts.  I first noticed this on a DA20, climb into the cruise
and it struggled to keep up with a C152, dive into the cruise and it would
do 110kts.

Adding a camera anywhere (on a go-pro type mount) -is -5kts.
