Actually, this is more of a fuel burn comparison, although most people will=
=20
be interested in speed as well. Dan has a pretty fast RV-7 claiming 187 KTA=
S=20
at 8,000. On one particular day with the stock turbo I was able to get 189=
=20
KTAS but can't do that right now because of my surge problem. Robert was=20
recently flying with Dan and was slightly edging out Dan at 7,000 ft. That=
=20
is what started this whole thing. I think you should be able to out climb=
=20
them in your RV-3.=20
 Robert is pulling up to 50"MAP in his supercharged Eggenfelner Subaru with=
=20
a MT electric prop. and seems to have the advantage above 7000' but not so=
=20
much down low. Depending on when this happens, I may be back in the running=
,=20
especially after I install my ported engine. (not to mention get my drive=
=20
parts back from Tracy.
