I through you did 262KTS GS at LAL? me: I did, but that was 31.5" @ 2,775RPM, or about 350HP rather than 240HP.. 100HP for 30KTS still isn't bad. them: oh, how can you get away with more than 2,700RPM? me: what's your gross weight? them: 2500lbs me: how did you get away with more than lancair's 2300lbs? them: well, its more for the FAA/NTSB so I can when I need to.. don't want their report to say "exceeded mfg's gross weight" to give the insurance co something to hang on... I just watch the breaks and turbulence G forces... me: yea, I did the same... going fast will get an amazing about of weight off the ground... so if you penciled the gross weight why not put a new number on the side of the engine? them: you can do that? me: as the mfg you can do alot of stupid things, just rember that mooney sells our exact same engine limited to 2500RPM or 240HP, and cont has said if we run more than 240HP continuous we won't make TBO... but it sure is fun to run 350HP! and its sooooo easy to do... them: don't you need to increase your fuel flow with that kinda HP? me: yup, increase the fuel pressure. them: how do you do that? me: turn the high speed fuel return line blockoff on the side of the engine mounted fuel pump.. them: ok... but that still doesn't explain how the factory claims the legacy prototype does 240kts @ 8k 25" 2500rpm.. me: mine can't do that.. and I can only speak for mine.
