DiamondAire Geronimo mods for PA23 Apache?

[heygeronimo]

So I am considering buying some things for my Apache. Namely, the wing tips, gap seals, dorsal fin, speed windshield,wing root fairings, and his Nacelle/cowling kit... I cannot do the nose at this time as it is a huge expense, and would rather not do the fully closing gear doors because I like the idea of having my wheels exposed in a gear up situation. I have been told by two the square tail does not do much in speed and is mainly for a more modern look. So we can do that down the line... MAYBE.

I have the 150HP engines, but was wondering if anyone might have some general idea how much of a cruise speed increase, and climb increase I may see roughly. I am hoping for 15 MPH, but not sure if that is unrealistic.

Opinions?
