I read testimonies of a Lancair 360 getting to FL220 and doing about 184KTAS.
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.
