There's not much of a point to flying that high, unless you have weather to top. The standard aircraft will loose performance. If have as much induction ram air recovery as possible, the a 360 should be able to get higher. A Legacy with an IO-550-N should be able to go at least that high. Lancair just didn't tested the aircraft that high, that's why they list the ceiling at 18000ft. My opinion only.
