It may work better with the roof on, but you will not do any harm to any engine bit. My butt dyno says there is very little power drop (if any). To quote my knowledgeable salesman/enthusiast, you would have to "measure it in laptimes". Since I'll be lapping with the roof on, it matters not.

That's what I thought. I saw several other threads about this topic on other message boards with warnings about driving with the top off. I thought I was missing something obvoius. Thanks.
My grommets came in on Thursday, 10 minutes before I left to drive to Lake Tahoe for the weekend. I hope to get them installed this week. I can't wait!!!
