The lift will definately affect the speed. Wind drag. There's a reason that race cars are low to the ground.

Year/Vehicle: 2003 SWB Tracker
Engine: 2.7 V6
Tire Size: 29"
Gearing: 5.125:1
MAX Speed: 100mph at about 3/4 throttle, plenty of gusto left, but it's a brick, so...?
0-60mph: 8.0 seconds.  The automatic transmission could use a lot of firming-up.

I started to worry about losing the soft-top and haven't tried with the hard-top or topless.
