I ran it to 3200 rpm with my 88 inch pitch* 76 inch prop. I will install the manifold and run it again. Than I will add the muffler. My wife commented that with the muffler it sounds like a regular car exhaust! I do believe the side port exhaust is much quieter than the normal 13 B radial exhaust. Dennis H.
