The extra drag of the speedbrake allows you to keep the RPM a little higher on final, so the engine will accelerate to full thrust faster than from idle if you need to make a go-around. A fair amount of headwind cancels the need for the speedbrake.
"Crow" really improves the quality of my landings on my KingCat. No more floating right on bye.......round out at about a foot, and it greases right on....most of the time LOL.
"Crow" increases the sinkrate, by killing off the lift from the outboard wing, so don't forget to factor that in.
You will need to use more power with the "crow" and speedbrake deployed.
