Frank To be honest I did not test it without trimming. I believe the rest needs trimming to preform best, but becuase you asked I will find an untrimed bisquit and and shoot some to see. I susspect probably a couple of feet per second more than without trimming, but I won't know for shure until I try it out.
Thanks Chris. The reason I ask is because the local shop usually uses a figure of 6-8 fps in loss of speed for an untrimmed biscuit and straight 4 inch vanes. I want to make sure that number is still accurate.

Just to add to the speed loss numbers. Heres some info I came up with, while experimenting. I found it interesting.

In a trimmed biscuit with notches where the vanes pass through the notches - no speed loss with a 3 degree offset vane, gained 1 fps in one setup.

In a trimmed biscuit (no notches), a helical vane lost 2 fps over an 3 degree offset straight vane.
