Where can I get information on fuel burn and power for the renesis?
The maximum fuel burn I can get on takeoff is 11.7 gph (reading on the EM2) at 64 00 rpm.   The EM2 is not fully calibrated yet!   I think I should be able to get a higher fuel burn than that.
 
The other part of the problem.  What should be the intake manifold runner length on the Renesis.  Best power has to be between 6000 and 6500 rpm limited by the propeller and redrive configuration.   I cannot use more than 65" dia. prop.
 
The present runner length is 17" and I think it is not enough.
